Last week ZESA, through a communique, announced the increase in electricity tariffs by 50%. In a strange turn of events, tariffs have been increased again by a further 50% of the ones that took effect on the 23rd of September 2020.
The new tariffs are as follows:
Tarrifs take effect from the 1st of October 2020
| Consumption Bands kWh | Price (ZWL$) |
| 1 – 50kWh | 1.11 |
| 51 – 200kWh | 2.43 |
| 201 – 300kWh | 6.62 |
| Above 300kWh | 10.38 |
| Consumption Bands kWh | Price (ZWL$) |
| 1 – 50kWh | 0.74 |
| 51 – 200kWh | 1.62 |

Aaaargh and of course their system is down today
Zesa increased the rates last week according to keep up with inflation. How can inflation go up another 50% in just a week. Zimbabweans are being ripped off once again
Tariff takes effect immediately not 2 October as stated in this articles.
Apologies, that was an error on my part the tariffs take effect from today.
The calculator should also effect the 6% REA
It's a good tool though
Is this 50% increase? Maybe my math is not up to scratch
but Zesa website when you buy for $500.00 for the first time this month you will get 57.55kwh and yet your calculator gives 212.08kwh for the same amount. Which is which?
For 800 l got 90kwh
I have also noticed that and l am skeptical that if l buy now l will lose does anyone have their customer services number?
Your calculator is not including the 6% REA levy, but it's quite a good calculator.
What must I pay to get 200kwh?
Paid $1082 but got 290kwh and not 300kwh. What is the correct position?
Please explain further on new tariffs, purchase for a 1,000 got 279 used to get 400units
Bought but no token yet,
the cumulative price increase for 23rd and 1st October is 125%.. so that means you have to multiply whatever you were paying for 300 kwh by 2.25 to get the new price.
Why are we being ripped off like this.But they said the austerity measures are over,but it's getting worse by the day
You are not being ripped off my guy. ZESA is just aligning their price to reflect movements in price of inputs in production. Coal has gone up, water from Zambezi is now too costly, chemicals are out of reach etc. For Zesa to continue generating, it has to pass the costs to the consumer. Unfortunately.
