NERSA ZA has issued important clarity on the regulatory requirements for small-scale embedded generation.

As public debate continues around solar system registration, this statement confirms the legal obligations for any grid-connected SSEG installation, regardless of whether electricity is exported or consumed on-site.

Clear, consistent communication is essential for safeguarding consumers, installers and the national grid. We welcome regulatory guidance that supports transparency and improves public understanding.
