South Africa: Electricity Pricing Policy

This legislation seeks to liberalize the electricity sector in South Africa. Contending that electricity supply should be available to everyone at affordable prices, the government aims to create a regulatory framework from which everyone can benefit. Energy pricing will be transparent and cost-reflective. In order to promote an energy efficient and environmentally friendly electricity industry, the NER will develop incentive-based tariff structures and other instruments.
