Zesa mulls tariff hike

ENERGY deputy minister Magna Mudyiwa has told Parliament that the Zimbabwe Electrical Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) is considering hiking tariffs to raise money for operations, including acquisition of new service vehicles.

Mudyiwa made the remarks on Wednesday while responding to questions by MPs on the ministry’s plan on purchase of vehicles for ZETDC maintenance works.

“We are looking at reviewing the tariffs and if that review is granted, then ZETDC can have funds to purchase the much needed vehicles for their operations,” Mudyiwa said.
