The Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (711Tia is pleased to announce the introduction of a lower-priced tariff band In order to better improve the customer experience, with the new wilt\u2019 band being a positive response to customer requests (or lower-priced Units beneath the premium band effective 12th lune 2020.<\/p>\n

The Domestic Stepped Tariffs with the new band are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Consumption Band<\/th>\nCost (Price) Per Band<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
(i) 0-50 kWh<\/td>\n$26 (@52c\/kWh)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
(ii) 51-200 kWh<\/td>\n$172 ($1.14\/kWh)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
(iii) 201-300 kWh<\/em><\/strong><\/td>\n$312 (@3.12\/kWh) (new tariff band)<\/em><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
(iv)From 301 kWh<\/td>\n(@$4.88\/kWh)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The Tariffs above include 6% Rural Electrification Levy<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

In every calendar month, customers are allocated 50 units at a lifeline wilt rate of $0.52 costing $26. including levies. The next 150 kWh (51 to 200 kWh) in the same calendar month being charged at $1.14 cog 5172, including levies.
\nThe new tariff band consisting of 100 kWh, which stretches from 201 to 300 kWh, will, therefore, cost $312.00, including levies. Any additional purchase in excess of 300 kWh within the same calendar month will still be charged at a rate of $4.88\/kWh, including levies.<\/p>\n

In addition. the customer perception that power Is cheaper at the beginning of the month Is NOT CORRECT and was leading to very high transaction vol. units at the beginning of each month, resulting In the significant slowing down of the vending system. The 300 Units are enjoyed once a month when customers make the first Token purchase or units on ANY DAY during any calendar month, therefore it is NOT TRUE that electricity is cheaper when purchases are done within the first five days of the month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
