NERSA registration
Registration with the National Energy Regulator of South Africa for electricity activities where registration is required instead of, or before confirming, a full licence route.
Definition
NERSA registration questions should be checked against the project type, generation capacity, connection point, customer or offtaker, own-use facts, power purchase agreement, wheeling arrangement, municipal or Eskom approvals, and current regulatory exemptions. Registration should not be assumed from a label; the current NERSA and electricity-regulation rules must be checked against the project facts.
