The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) has notified fuel operators whose 2021 operating licenses expire on 31 December 2021 to start the renewal process by applying for new licenses for 2022. In a public notice this Thursday, ZERA said:
Applications for the 2022 licensing year must be submitted via email on licensing@zera.co.zw in PDF format only and below 10MB in size.
All applicants for renewal of licenses are required to submit the duly completed license renewal form accompanied by the requisite supporting documents.
… Please take note that payment of license fees into the ZERA account without submitting adequate application documents does not warrant the issuance of a license.
