The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) registered 160 new generation facilities, contributing 2 187 MW and representing an investment value of R41.94-billion, in the fourth quarter of the 2024/25 financial year.

Six of these facilities are registered for commercial purposes, with a capacity of 957 MW and an investment value of R15.68-billion.

The predominant technology chosen during this quarter was solar PV, underscoring South Africa's abundant sunlight resources, which is ideal for both small-scale and large-scale energy generation.

The top three provinces in terms of the number of newly registered generation facilities in the fourth quarter were Gauteng with 49, the Western Cape with 33 and Limpopo with 20 registered generation facilities.

However, when considering total installed capacity and investment value, Limpopo emerges as the leader with 1 054 MW at an investment value of R22.69-billion, followed by the Free State with 398 MW with a R7.43-billion investment and North West with 410 MW with a R6.51-billion investment.

Further, since the introduction of its registration of electricity generation facilities in 2018, Nersa has successfully registered 1 971 generation facilities, with a combined capacity of 12 737 MW.

This reflects the regulator's ongoing commitment to facilitating the growth of renewable-energy generation in South Africa, it states.

“In our continuous efforts to enhance efficiency, Nersa successfully processed all 160 applications during the fourth quarter within an average turnaround time of 12 working days.

“This achievement demonstrates our dedication to improving turnaround times and supporting the growth of the energy sector in South Africa,” says Nersa Electricity Regulation regulator member Nomfundo Maseti.
