The Department has released the Energy Security Master Plan on Electricity. The Master Plan is premised on achieving certain goals that have been set for the electricity sector. Due to the uncertainty over the planning horizon, some assumptions are made regarding demand projections and the economic outlook. After consideration of the Energy White Paper and the regulatory policy framework, the current electricity generation, transmission and distribution sectors are appraised, in terms of the challenges confronting these sectors.

The Department has released the Energy Security Master Plan on Liquid Fuels. In the short term the Master Plan focuses on developing supply chain solutions to South Africa’s liquid fuels challenges, management of liquid fuels demand and emergency response tactics. The long - term approach is broader and begins to integrate supply, demand, macroeconomics, geopolitics and climate change.

The Department of Minerals and Energy has undertaken a feasibility study on Tradable Renewable Energy Certification System (TRECS).
