The Energy Council of South Africa is a CEO-led initiative that brings together key public and private sector companies, business/industry associations and finance institutions that have a significant presence and actively participate in the energy sector.
A common vision for the energy sector
A stakeholder-aligned national energy strategy with optimal pathways to grow the South African economy
Enabling policies and a supportive operating environment
Attract investment to drive industrialisation, localisation and job creation
To enable a thriving and sustainable energy future for South Africa,
while supporting inclusive economic growth.
The Energy Council supports South Africa’s commitments under the UNFCCC Paris agreement and our country’s climate legislation aimed at achieving Net Zero by 2050, and further recognises the critical importance of a successful national energy transition in meeting those decarbonisation targets whilst maintaining energy security.
“Servant Leadership” We create trust and serve the common good.

Multi-market system – a hybrid market model designed to accommodate various defined transactions (market transactions, physical bilateral transactions and regulated transactions).
Electricity storage encompasses all technologies that can consume electricity (e.g., charge in times of oversupply) and return it later (e.g., discharge in times of undersupply).
Renewable energy refers to energy generated from a source that is not depleted when used
Green hydrogen is hydrogen produced by the electrolysis of water, using renewable electricity. Production of green hydrogen causes significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions than production of grey hydrogen, which is derived from fossil fuels without carbon capture.
Energy Availability Factor (EAF) = measure of generation performance, electricity available to be generated. EAF is the difference between the maximum availability and all unavailabilities expressed as a percentage
Dispatchable generation refers to sources of electricity that can be programmed on demand at the request of power grid operators, according to market needs. Dispatchable generators may adjust their power output according to an order.
Net Zero means cutting carbon emissions to a small amount of residual emissions that can be absorbed and durably stored by nature and other carbon dioxide removal measures, leaving zero in the atmosphere.
Nationally Determined Contributions are the commitments that countries make to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions as part of climate change mitigation.
