ZETDC plans to make big money from new electrical checks at every building across Zimbabwe. The company told everyone about this on March 27. They claim these checks keep people safe from bad wiring and prevent fires. Because of recent home fires, ZETDC wants to find and fix electrical problems before anyone else gets hurt.
Every customer must pay $25 for basic safety checks. If you have small generators under 100KW running on gas, diesel, solar power, or wind, you pay just $5. Big generators over 100KW cost $50 to inspect. For extra detailed safety reviews, prices jump higher—$20 for small generators and $100 for large ones. Anyone with homemade generators under 100KW pays $100, too.
ZETDC demands that all payments go through its official system. It promises to give receipts for every payment. Never hand cash directly to any inspector who comes to your house. The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority will watch how ZETDC runs these inspections to ensure that they follow all safety rules correctly.
The company admits these checks might bother people but insists they matter for public safety. When these inspections start remains a mystery—ZETDC didn't tell anyone the exact dates in its announcement. This nationwide program affects every electricity user without exception, creating a massive new revenue stream for the power company.
