1.1. The Net-Billing Rules (‘the Rules’) are designed to empower licensed Distributors to establish tariffs and develop terms and conditions that allow Prosumers within their service areas to export any excess power back to the distribution network.

 

1.2. These Rules aim to create a robust regulatory environment that enables the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) to effectively oversee, monitor and regulate the electricity industry.

 

1.3. The key objective of these Rules is to provide Distributors with clear pricing principles for setting sustainable prosumer export tariffs and import charges in a way that balances the interests of both Distributors and Prosumers.
