The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) says the registration of standby generators is done free of charge.
In a public notice, ZERA said all owners of standby generators or generating equipment with a capacity of 100kW and above, are required to be registered with ZERA and this is done at no cost. ZERA said:
<blockquote>
The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA), following indications that the registration of standby generators attracts a fee of ZWL$100 000, hereby informs the public that such registration is at no cost.
In terms of the Electricity Act 2002 (Chapter 13:19) and Statutory Instrument 103 of 2008 all owners of standby generators or generating equipment with a capacity of 100kW and above, are required to be registered with ZERA.
This is to ensure public safety in the operation of the grid and in particular, prevent the danger posed to Electricity Supply Industry employees from the possibility of back-feeding of power into the grid from these generators during outages and maintenance.
Information on registration is obtainable from the Authority and the website <a href="https://www.zera.co.zw/">www.zera.co.zw.</a>
