HARARE – 
Zimbabwean blue chip telecom company, Econet Wireless, has intensified deployment of hybrid batteries from Tesla as well as solar equipment to cover for revenue losses arising out of power outages.
Alternative power sources helped the ZSE-listed company to raise voice, data and text message for the nine month period to end November.
However, volumes for the quarter to end November were lower compared to the quarter ending August 2019 “following the headline tariff adjustments” effected in August and October of that year, it said in a trading update Thursday.
