Karpowership,National Energy Regulator Of South Africa (Nersa),Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (Outa)

The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse hauled South Africa’s energy regulator to court after it refused to explain why it awarded three generation licences to Karpowership.

The controversial Karpowership deal took a hit in early June 2024, with South Africa’s energy regulator settling to pay the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse’s costs minutes before the Pretoria High Court was set to hear Outa’s application.

“Outa believed that the costs tendered by Nersa were grossly insufficient and, as such, Outa, on 4 June 2024, proceeded with a cost argument, asking the court to award a punitive cost order against both Nersa and Karpowership due to their conduct in this matter.” “It is despicable to think that Nersa, our independent national energy regulator, will keep information away from public scrutiny unless it is given permission to do so by third parties,” said Fick.
