New Energy Efficiency Bodies Created

Document Actions
The Western Cape electricity crisis and rising international oil prices have pushed energy efficiency to the top of the agenda.

In a major rethink, the Central Energy Fund (CEF) has established two new energy bodies as part of its endeavours to deal with the country’s energy challenges: the National Energy Efficiency Agency (NEEA) and the South African National Energy Research Institute (SANERI).

The chief executive officer of the CEF, Maphumi Damani, stated that his organisation would be doing everything in its power to ensure that South Africa’s energy is fully developed and put to “good and efficient use” for the benefit of all South Africans.
