With the way prices are running away it was expected that ZESA tariffs would be going up. The price increase sees ZESA tariffs go up by about 50%. There have been no changes to the consumtion bands

New tariffs take effect from the 23rd of September 2020.

New tariffs

Consumption Bands kWhPrice (ZWL$)
1 – 50kWh0.74
51 – 200kWh1.62
201 – 300kWh4.41
300 and above 6.92

For comparison here is the old ZESA tariff structure

Consumption Bands kWhPrice ZWL$
First 500.49
51 – 2001.08
201 – 3002.94
301+4.61

If you want to see how many units you will get according to the new prices you can use the Techzim ZESA calculator here.
