The Department of Energy (DoE) in South Africa has obtained its first unqualified audit from the Auditor General since its establishment in 2009. Notably, three state-owned entities—NNR, NERSA, and SANEDI—also received unqualified audits.
The Renewable Energy Power Producers Programme (REIPPP), initiated in August 2011, includes 92 projects generating 6,327 MW, contributing over 1,800 MW to the national grid. The Integrated National Electrification Programme (INEP) has successfully connected 247,485 households, totaling 6.6 million since 1994.
The department is also advancing the 9,600 MW nuclear build initiative, completing vendor parades and inter-governmental agreements with multiple countries. Challenges in petroleum prices and the Biofuels Subsidy Model refinement were discussed as part of ongoing commitments to energy efficiency and new refining capacities.
