Revision of Regulatory Rules for Energy Efficiency and Demand Side Management
NERSA has published the Consultation Paper on - Revision of Regulatory Rules for Energy Efficiency and Demand Side ManagementThe first Energy Efficiency and Demand Side Management (EEDSM) Regulatory Rules were published in 2004 with the plan that it shall be reviewed bi-annually. This document will be the first review of EEDSM regulatory Rules since 2004. Energy efficiency and demand-side management has significantly gained in stature in South Africa and has become recognised as one of the most cost-effective ways of meeting the electricity demand and environmental targets.
  

The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) announced that the Energy Regulator approved the Renewable Energy Feed-In Tariff (REFIT) Guidelines at its meeting on Thursday, 26 March 2009.

The ABC submitted the following position to the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) on ESKOM’s MYPD2 tariff application of a 45% increase  per year for the next three years, on 27 November 2009. The ABC has participated in the public debate on the ESKOM and energy debacle, and the impact this could have on the country. Government is slowly but surely gaining an understanding that before the fundamental structural and governance issues are not addressed within ESKOM, the country’s electricity crisis will escalate over the next couple of years. The ABC again advises its members to seriously consider developing an energy/electricity strategy to overcome possible supply constraints in the foreseeable future.
