Reform of NERSA—A Comprehensive Approach

Reforming NERSA requires more than cosmetic changes—it demands a comprehensive approach rooted in accountability, transparency, and technical competence. As South Africa’s energy future hangs in the balance, the regulator must evolve from reactive decision-making to proactive governance. By strengthening oversight, aligning with international best practices, and prioritizing consumer protection, reform can restore trust, stabilize the sector, and ensure that energy regulation serves the public interest rather than perpetuating inefficiency.
