The Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation (ZESCO) says it will soon embark on verifying tariff plans to strengthen its data base to ensure customer adherence to the company’s regulations.
Through the verifying of the data base the company will be able to know those that have illegal connections and those that have outstanding arrears.
ZESCO Customer Services Manager Bassie Banda said the aim of the exercise is to ensure that ZESCO recovers the money that customers owe the company through non settlement of bills and illegal connections among others.
Ms Banda said this yesterday when the company led customers on a familiarization tour of the Kafue Gorge Hydro Power Station.
She added that the updating of customers and verification exercise of their data base would be an on going exercise lasting for six months.
Meanwhile Kafue Gorge power station Manager Masiye Mwale assured the customers that visited the power station that Kafue gorge power station was running at full capacity.
Mr Mwale noted that the company valued its customers and that the idea of inviting them was to ensure that they know and appreciate how ZESCO generates and distributes power.
He said this will help customers value the role the company plays in generating power and finally distributing it.
