It shouldn't affect the operators in the field with generators but their homes will be impacted.

Zimbabwe quadruples electricity prices, pummeling impoverished consumers

Zimbabwe hiked its average electricity tariff by 320% on Wednesday to ramp up power supplies at a time of daily blackouts, but the move will anger consumers already grappling with soaring inflation that is eroding their earnings.

The southern African nation is experiencing its worst economic crisis in a decade, seen in triple-digit inflation, 18-hour power cuts and shortages of U.S. dollars, medicines and fuel that have evoked the dark days of the 2008 hyperinflation under late President Robert Mugabe.

The second increase in the price of electricity inside three months follows sharp rises in fuel and basic goods prices in the last week. But salaries have not kept pace, prompting citizens to blame President Emmerson Mnangagwa's policies for the crisis.

The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) said it had approved an application by Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) to raise the tariff to 162.16 cents (10.61 U.S. cents) from 38.61 cents.

When electricity goes up, all fuel cost go up. Or is it the other way around? Maybe they have some special teenage "Greenies" running the show.

Nope, they hired Obama as a consultant: "Electricity prices will inevitably skyrocket".

So very, very sorry for what used to be the breadbasket and food exporter of southern Africa. I wonder what the way out of this mess might be.

Return to minority rule is the only way. The colonial days were the best thing that happened to Africa.
