ERB TO DECIDE NEW TARIFFS THURSDAY
ENERGY Regulation Board (ERB) will announce its decision on Zesco Limited’s application of an emergency tariff adjustment on Thursday following conclusion of public submissions yesterday, where Zambia Association of Manufacturers (ZAM) supported the request by the utility.
Board chairperson James Banda said the decision on the application by Zesco, which is the second, will be made in the best interest of the nation.
“These hearings are helpful,” he said. “We will make a decision that will be in the best interest of this country.”
In supporting the application by the power utility, ZAM president Ashu Sagar said the long hours of load-shedding are hurting the
anufacturing industry.
