Zesa to continue seeking upward tariff review:CEO

Power utility, Zesa Holdings has indicated that it will continue seeking an upward tariff review to enable speedy completion of its power generation projects.

Zesa chief executive officer, Josh Chifamba told Parliament early this week that the current tariff rates were unsustainable, adding they last had an electricity tariff review in 2012.

But chairperson of the Mines and Energy Portfolio Committee, Daniel Shumba said his committee would not support the proposal because tariff increases would scare away potential investors.
