Industry organisation the South African Photovoltaic Industry Association (Sapvia) has begun to track the uptake of private generation projects for different technologies. “As a start, we are tracking the National Energy Regulator of South Africa- (Nersa-) registered projects. We’ve already observed exponential growth in the registration of generation facilities. We anticipate that amendments to Schedule 2 of the Electricity Regulation Act will further catalyse the deployment of renewable energy technologies,” says CEO Dr Rethabile Melamu.
