Nersa finally initiates public process for concurring with Mantashe’s power determinations

The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) published two consultation papers on Wednesday for two separate Ministerial determinations submitted by Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe for the regulator’s concurrence as required by the National Energy Regulator Act. By releasing the papers, Nersa officially launched the public-participation process required by the Act before granting its concurrence and the regulator indicated that the process would involve both written submissions and public hearings.
