Status of Embedded Generation of South African Municipalities

This study compiles data from SALGA, Eskom, SAPVIA and GEOTERRA to present the status of embedded generation (EG) in South Africa as of December 2023. The report provides an overview of the key regulatory frameworks relevant to embedded generation, a quantitative overview of the uptake which largely focuses on municipal distribution areas, embedded generation related challenges, and a summary of assistance available to municipalities through the Municipal Embedded Generation Support Programme. As part of the municipal synopsis, the report details how many municipal utilities are allowing embedded generators to be connected to their grid, how many have official application processes in place and who has approved tariffs for embedded generation customers.
