Zimbabwe's energy watchdog just went off on social media posts claiming the government wants to slap taxes on people running solar panels at home. ZERA dropped a statement calling the whole thing completely fake and said there are zero plans to charge anyone for residential solar setups. They pointed out that spreading this garbage actively works against the country's push to get everyone on clean energy by 2030.
The regulator reminded everyone that authorities have actually been making it easier to go solar by letting people import equipment duty-free and allowing homeowners to dump extra power back into the grid. ZERA told people to stop falling for random posts and stick to official sources because the misinformation is causing unnecessary panic.
