Electricity Petroleum Pipelines Piped Gas



 

Welcome to the National Energy Regulator of South Africa

 

The National Energy Regulator (NERSA) is a regulatory authority established as a juristic person in terms of Section 3 of the National Energy Regulator Act, 2004 (Act No. 40 of 2004). NERSA’s mandate is to regulate the electricity, piped-gas and petroleum pipeline industries in terms of the Electricity Regulation Act, 2006 (Act No. 4 of 2006), Gas Act, 2001 (Act No. 48 of 2001) and Petroleum Pipelines Act, 2003 (Act No. 60 of 2003). The structure of the Energy Regulator consists of nine members, five of whom are part-time and four are full-time, including the CEO. The Energy Regulator is supported by a secretariat under the direction of the CEO.

 While the electricity industry has been regulated for the past ten years, the piped-gas and petroleum pipeline industries in South Africa will be regulated for the first time. In 2002, the Cabinet decided that the NER would be used as the basis to create the National Energy Regulator. In anticipation of the future development of these industries the Gas Act of 2001 and the Petroleum Pipelines Act of 2003 were passed to promote the orderly development of the piped-gas and petroleum pipelines industries. Both Acts mandated the establishment of a regulator.
