Government will in the next few weeks gazette solar water heating (SWH) geyser regulations, a senior government has revealed.
The gazetting of regulations will mark the beginning of ambitious national project.
Permanent secretary in the ministry of Energy and Power Development Partson Mbiriri said the new law will force property owners countrywide to stop using electric water geysers and migrate to solar powered geysers as part of efforts to reduce electricity consumption.
It is estimated that about 300 000 electric geysers are currently installed in Zimbabwe and these, according to Mbiriri are responsible for 40 percent of average household energy costs.
