*Govt Okays Latest Electricity Tariff Hike* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?uv The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) said that the latest tariff hike by the Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) was long overdue as the previous tariff was no longer sustainable. In a statement on Wednesday, the Authority revealed that electricity charges have been raised from 38,61 cents/kWh to $162.16c/kWh effective 3 October 2019. Part of the statement says: ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* *LATEST: itel S24 (128) $124; S24 (256GB) $159* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

ZERA said the tariff hike is expected to significantly improve the electricity supply position from the Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC) as the company can procure enough coal stocks. This will consequently lead to reduced load shedding hours as the power utility will also be able to import power from the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP). *More: The Herald* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
