ZIMBABWE’S Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) consumption saw a significant increase in the first half of 2024, rising 12 percent to 33,58 million kilograms (kg) compared to the same period last year.
This surge, driven by increased power cuts, highlights the country’s ongoing energy challenges.
In June alone, LPG consumption jumped by a staggering 55 percent to 6,93 million kg.
While this may seem positive, it underscores the growing reliance on alternative energy sources due to the persistent power crisis and high energy costs.
