Zimbabwe Energy and Power Development Minister Samuel Undenge says a power price increase in the country is unavoidable as the current subsidized tariff is unsustainable.

Zera turned down an electricity tariff hike proposed by Zesa Holdings in 2016 and ordered the power utility to maintain a rate of $0.0986 per kilowatt hour.

Zesa had proposed an upward tariff review of 49 percent, a move which would have seen consumers paying $0.1469 per kWh.

Undenge says there is no going back on power tariff increase.
