Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA)

ZESA Holdings (Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority Holdings) is Zimbabwe's national electricity utility responsible for overseeing the country's electricity supply industry, including power generation, transmission, distribution and retail supply. Established in 1980 and subsequently restructured into a holding company with specialised subsidiaries, ZESA Holdings plays a central role in supporting Zimbabwe's energy infrastructure and economic development. The group operates through several strategic business units, including Zimbabwe Power Company (ZPC), which is responsible for electricity generation; Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC), which manages electricity transmission, distribution and retail supply; ZESA Enterprises (ZENT), which provides engineering, manufacturing, construction and technical services; and Powertel Communications, which delivers telecommunications services. Headquartered in Harare, the organisation focuses on improving electricity reliability, expanding grid infrastructure, modernising power generation facilities and supporting the integration of renewable energy into the national electricity network. Its broader vision is to achieve total electrification and become a preferred electricity supplier across the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region by 2030.
