South Africa’s energy environment is evolving rapidly, with private procurement, electricity market reform, and decarbonisation placing new demands—and opportunities—on commercial and industrial stakeholders. Businesses must respond to load shedding, navigate regulatory uncertainty, manage cost volatility, and meet rising compliance and ESG obligations.

The programme is designed to support exactly that, through seven interlinked themes:

• Market reform and private participation
• Integrated risk and resilience planning
• Project deployment and scalable innovation
• Storage and load optimisation
• Energy cost management and forecasting
• Compliance and carbon regulation
• Export competitiveness
