Approval of further 124 generation facilities supports transition to renewables-based electricity – Nersa

The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) registered 124 generation facilities during the first quarter of the 2026/27 fiscal year – April 1 to June 30 – with a total capacity of 804 MW and an estimated investment value of R20.18-billion. Nersa's approval of the new generation facilities supports grid reliability and safety, improves national electricity planning, encourages private investment, expands generation capacity, strengthens South Africa’s energy security and facilitates the transition to a more competitive, renewable-based electricity sector, it says.
