LUSAKA, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- Zambia's energy regulator on Thursday approved a plan by the state power utility for an emergency upward adjustment of electricity tariffs to raise funds for power imports.
The Energy Regulation Board (ERB) said it has approved an application by ZESCO Limited to help the firm generate about 15 million U.S. dollars monthly from retail customers to contribute toward the importation of 788 megawatts of electricity.
