The Zimbabwean government opened the electricity retail and distribution sector to private companies, allowing them to sell power directly to consumers and complement ZESA’s coverage. Licensed firms must demonstrate technical and financial capacity and may partner with ZETDC to expand infrastructure in underserved areas. Officials say the reform will attract investment, integrate renewable energy, improve service delivery, and support universal access to electricity by 2030, boosting industrial and residential power supply.
