The ZETDC has applied for an increase of electricity tariffs for 2023 by US0.02C/KWH.This means that the tariffs will increase from ZW$137 (current cost) per kWh to ZW$147 per kWh. The application, to the Zimbabwe Energy and Regulatoing Authority, quotes a lot of reasons for the desired increase, although the cost of energy is rising as a percentage of Zimbabwe`s electricity coming from the cheaper Kariba hydro power continues to fall.
This increase is said to have a positive impact on the economic outlook. These impacts include:
i. Funding of projects like maintenance
ii. Maintaining constant power supplies
iii. Create capacity to support economic growth
iv. Rehabilitation of transmission and distribution network
v. Servicing of the loan for Hwange units 7 and 8 and refurbishing units 1 to 6
vi. To enable the utility to raise the revenue required for service provision in 2023
vii. To cover costs for purchase of electricity, operations and maintenance, regulatory costs research and development costs and general admin costs.
