“The application is seeking a review of the tariff to an average of US9,94c kWh in terms of the approved rate of return methodology,” read the statement.
“Any customer(s) wishing to make any submission on the ZETDC’s intention to vary electricity tariffs may do so in writing to the Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory

Authority chief executive officer not later than Friday November 23, 2012.”
ZETDC said the review would allow the company to refurbish transmission infrastructure and help attract investors for expansion of power supply projects. It will also

With domestic tariffs below the regional average of US14c kWh, Mr Malunga said the sub-economic tariffs have for long affected local power sectors.
