ZESA warns of massive load shedding

The Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority has warned that inadequate allocation of funds by the central bank might plunge the nation into darkness as the power utility is getting into serious arrears with regional electricity suppliers.

Appearing before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Mines and Energy chaired by Masvingo Central legislator, Dr Daniel Shumba, ZESA Group CEO, Engineer Josh Chifamba said the power utility is getting US$1,5 million weekly from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) out of US$5 million needed to pay regional suppliers. He said,

Arrears towards regional electricity suppliers are increasing as we are only getting US$1,5 million out of the required US$5 million, and this might trigger massive load-shedding as we cannot meet the pre-payment demands by some of the companies.
