Introduction

South African energy law governs the generation, transmission, distribution, and regulation of energy resources. The sector is undergoing fundamental transformation, driven by the energy crisis, the transition to renewable energy, and the restructuring of Eskom, the dominant state-owned utility. The legal framework comprises the Electricity Regulation Act 4 of 2006, the National Energy Regulator Act 40 of 2004, and the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act 28 of 2002.
