Zimbabwe power utility needs $14m monthly for imports
Zimbabwe’s state-owned power utility, ZESA Holdings says it needs $14 million monthly for electricity imports from the regional power market.
“If we clear our debts to (South African power firm) Eskom and (Mozambique’s hydropower company) HCB it would wipe out our (power cut) problems today, I repeat, today,” said Patrick Chivaura its acting Chief Executive.
Chivaura added that the company was seeking a government exemption to charge mining companies in U.S. dollars to guarantee power supplies.
