Register For Zesa Connection
Register for a group ZESA connection near you
The map above shows proposed lines across Zimbabwe and how many households have joined each one. When you register for a group ZESA connection, you are added to the nearest line — and every neighbour who joins after you lowers what each of you pays.
No fee. No commitment. You are simply putting yourself on the map so a line can be built where enough people need one.
Why group connections cost so much less
The two largest items on almost any ZESA quotation are the transformer and the line extension — and neither costs meaningfully more when it serves several households instead of one. Extending a line three kilometres costs broadly the same whether it feeds one homestead or six.
Alone, that figure is out of reach for most households. Divided between the households on the line, it becomes affordable. That single piece of arithmetic is why people register for a group ZESA connection rather than applying individually — and why a line that has been stuck for years can suddenly become viable once enough neighbours are counted.

How to register for a group ZESA connection
Find your area on the map
Look for a proposed line near you. If there is no line yet, register anyway — new lines are created where interest appears.
Drop a pin or pick your ward
Share your location, or simply type your ward and we will place you. No technical details, no documents, no cost.
Tell your neighbours
This is the step that actually decides whether your line gets built. Every household that joins brings the cost down for everyone already on it.
We contact you when the line is viable
Once the threshold is reached we assess the route, produce costings, and agree the split in writing before anyone pays anything.
Who should register for a group ZESA connection
Households on unserviced stands
Where the nearest line is some distance away and an individual quotation came back impossible to fund.
Farms and smallholdings
Neighbouring farms sharing one line extension is often the only route that makes irrigation and borehole power affordable.
New developments and cooperatives
Contiguous stands with a common access route are the strongest case of all — the cost per stand falls sharply.
Anyone quoted a transformer
If a transformer is what made your quotation unaffordable, a group ZESA connection is usually the single largest saving available to you.
Questions before you register
Does it cost anything to register?
No. Registering for a group ZESA connection is free and commits you to nothing. You are indicating interest so we can see where demand exists, not entering an agreement.
What if there is no line near me yet?
Register anyway. Lines are created where interest appears, so an area with no line today is simply an area where nobody has registered yet. Yours may be the first pin that starts one.
How many neighbours do we need?
There is no fixed number — it depends on the distance to existing infrastructure and the size of the transformer required. Even two households sharing halves the largest cost. The map shows how many each line still needs.
Will I share a bill with my neighbours?
No. Every property is metered and billed separately, exactly as with an individual connection. You share the cost of the infrastructure, not the electricity.
What happens if the line never reaches its threshold?
Nothing is lost, because nothing has been paid. Your registration stays on the map and continues to count toward the line as more neighbours join over time.
Who actually does the work?
The connection itself is built by ZETDC. We are an independent consultancy — we size the supply, prepare the application, negotiate wayleaves, review the quotation and manage the project through to energisation.
Put yourself on the map
It takes under a minute, costs nothing, and it is the only way your line ever gets counted. Every neighbour who joins after you makes it cheaper for you both.
