Foreign-currency earners will now pay their electricity bills in United States dollars, the Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) has said.

“Foreign-currency earners will now be required to pay their electricity bills in United States dollars at an average tariff of US10,63c per kWh,” ZETDC said.
