Regulations on tax allowances for energy efficiency savings

An article in the September 2011 edition of this Bulletin advised that the Department of Energy (DoE) had released proposed `Regulations on the Allowance for Energy Efficiency Savings’ for public comment. They were published in Government Gazette No. 34596 on 16 September 2011 with a deadline date for comment of 15 November 2011.

A press release commissioned by Eskom, SANAS, SANEDI and the CMVPSA in order to clarify the many questions which relate to the release of these energy efficiency tax incentives, was distributed by SAEE (the South African Association for Energy Efficiency) on 5 October 2011. Copies of the press release and an article published in the Vector e-News (Issue 52, Nov / Dec 2011) on the topic are available here.
