I’m excited to give a solidarity message on behalf of the ZESA and its subsidiary, Zimbabwe Electricity transmission and distribution companies – ZETDC, to one of our key OEM’s Iskraemeco.
They’ve travelled a long journey with this Iskraemeco spanning over 12 to 15 years, where they supplied us with the prepaid meters, smart meters and 18 systems. Iskraemeco’s advanced meter infrastructure and robust data analytics capabilities have been instrumental in improving our energy accounting and loss detection processes. Their technology enabled us to gain real time visibility into our network, streamline operations and make data-driven decisions that directly address inefficiencies and technical losses. With these climate cost metering systems integrated into our distribution network, we successfully identified and resolved inefficiencies and the leakages across the meter to catch value chain. This achievement not only improve the operational performance, but also reinforce the value of smart grid solutions in transforming our service delivery. What stands out most is their deep industry knowledge, responsiveness and willingness to adopt solutions to unique challenges. Their collaboration is always felt like a true partnership built on trust, transparency and shared commitment to excellence.
If I’m asked to describe Iskraemeco in three ways, I would say innovative, reliable and visionary. Iskraemeco is well positioned to lead the change in details in the utility sector. They have continued focus on sustainable intelligent technologies, will drive efficiency in power consumers and support utilities in managing increasingly complex networks. They are truly paving the way toward a smart greener future.
Once again, I would like to congratulate Iskraemeco on turning 80 years of innovation, excellence and impact. Your legacy is not just about the technology you have developed, but the positive change you have enabled around the world. We are proud to be part of your journey and excited to see what the future holds. Thank you.
