ZERA dismiss claims it seeks to tax solar energy users

Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) has issued a statement dismissing as false claims that it will impose a tax on solar energy users. The authority says the report is entirely fabricated and should be ignored.

FACT:

– No tax or levy is required to install or own a solar system for domestic use.
– Government’s National Energy Compact aims for universal energy access by 2030.
– Incentives include:
    – Duty-free importation of solar equipment
    – Training for solar installers
    – Net-metering regulations for excess energy supply to the grid

ZERA urged the public to disregard malicious statements and follow official channels for updates:
