Zimbabwe: Power Tariffs to Shoot Up 200%

Electricity tariffs will shoot up by over 200 percent early next month in a development that might stoke the inflation flames.

ZESA executive chairman Sydney Gata said the tariff review — the second in two months — had been approved by the government..

He said: “We are going to announce a tariff next week. Our tariffs have been frozen since 2004 but costs have not been frozen.”
