The combination of South Africa's unique natural resources and the government's commitment to fast-tracking the country's emerging economy, is making environmental law and clean energy law progressively more regulated areas.
|
|
|
South African environmental law is continually evolving and now incorporates contemporary principles such as the "polluter pays", "cradle-to-grave" and the "precautionary principle". Environmental liability is strict and wide enough to hold companies, parent companies, lenders and even directors and officers responsible for contamination.

Driven by South Africa's rising energy demands and global commitment to reducing its carbon emissions, renewable energy is fast emerging as the solution. In order to facilitate this, a renewable energy regulatory framework is rapidly evolving. Generation licenses, independent power producers, private power purchase agreements, and renewable energy regimes including a Renewable Energy Feed in Tariff are regulated. Our clean energy team is well placed to assist clients to understand and comply with the laws, policies and procedures that will assist with ensuring the successful implementation of renewable energy projects.
