Questions
- Is ZWG 50 of ZESA always 22.1 units?
- No. ZESA uses a stepped tariff, so the answer depends on how much you have already bought this calendar month. 22.1 kWh assumes this is your first purchase of the month, starting from the cheapest band. Later purchases in the same month buy fewer units for the same money.
- Do these prices include the REA levy?
- Yes. Every figure on this page includes the 6% Rural Electrification levy, exactly as ZETDC charges it. Rates are the ZERA-approved schedule effective 2026-07-28.
