ZESCO limited has raised TWO million U.S. dollars per month from pre-paid customers since the implementation of the emergency electricity tariffs on November 1, 2024.

ZESCO had targeted to raise 15 million U.S. dollars per month, which was anticipated to enable the utility provide at least SEVEN hours of electricity supply per day from imports.

The utility however says it is still compiling the full impact of the emergency electricity tariffs as income from other types of customers has not yet been tabulated.

ZESCO acting Managing Director JUSTIN LOONGO says electricity imports accounted for 50 percent of the national supply, sourced from Mozambique, South Africa, and the Southern African Power Pool.

Speaking during a joint end-of-year press briefing with Energy Regulation Board -ERB in Lusaka today, Mr. LOONGO also announced that Zesco will roll out solar packages to several households in the country to mitigate the effects of load-shedding.
