Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>The Energy Regulation Board \u2013ERB- has allowed ZESCO to migrate to the 2024 pre-approved multi-year tariffs for domestic consumers effective TODAY, May 01, 2024.<\/p>\n

The Board has also clarified that subsequent tariffs for 2025 to 2027 remain conditionally approved subject to its annual review of the Regulatory Clearing Account.<\/p>\n

ERB Chairperson REYNOLDS BOWA says the directives come after the board granted approval to ZESCO to implement the 2024 pre-approved tariffs.<\/p>\n

Mr. BOWA says the ERB in April 2023 approved ZESCO\u2019s multi-year tariffs for a FIVE year period, adding that the subsequent tariffs from 2024 to 2027 were conditionally approved subject to the board\u2019s annual review.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued to ZNBC news, he said ERB\u2019s analysis revealed that ZESCO\u2019s actual revenue in 2023 of over 28-billion Kwacha exceeded the board\u2019s approved projection of over 21-billion Kwacha by at least 6.7-billion Kwacha.<\/p>\n

Mr. BOWA said a huge portion of the excess revenue was however used to cover the rising power purchase costs which were negatively affected by the depreciation of the Kwacha against the US dollar.<\/p>\n

He said the remaining excess revenue was applied on the 2024 projected revenue requirement to assist the power Utility Company to reduce the imminent loss arising from the load management program.<\/p>\n
