Background

The Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA) is the state-owned company whose task is to generate, transmit and distribute electricity in Zimbabwe.  It was established in 1986 by amalgamating the Electricity Supply Commission (ESC) and the five municipal electricity undertakings which had generated and distributed power in the country since the Electricity Act of 1936.

The ESC was established on 01 July 1936 and was responsible, together with the municipal power stations initially in Bulawayo and Salisbury (now Harare), for the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in what was then Rhodesia. Later the municipalities of Gwelo, Umtali and Gatooma also generated their own electricity. Following the independence of Zimbabwe in 1980, a new Electricity Act in 1985 established the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA) by amalgamating the ESC with the municipal undertakings to provide a unified electricity supply service.

The emblem originally adopted by the ESC was amended following the establishment of ZESA in 1986.  The shield, showing elements used to generate electricity, remained.  The Zimbabwe Bird replaced the Griffin as the crest and the scroll added new company acronym.
