South Africa stands at a pivotal point in its energy transition journey, with natural gas identified as a key enabler in the shift to a low-carbon economy. The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) has outlined a comprehensive Gas, Renewable Energy and Hydrogen Partnership Strategy in South Africa, with clear priorities: diversify supply, modernize infrastructure, increase gas demand, and ensure regulatory alignment.
At Vutomi Energy, we recognise the immense responsibility and opportunity presented by this national roadmap. As a private energy developer already approved to import gas into South Africa, and having received Environmental Authorisation (EA) and a Cost Estimate Letter (CEL) from Eskom, we are demonstrating the exact level of project readiness NERSA calls for. Our projects—backed by compliance, infrastructure planning, and financial modelling—are tailored to respond to NERSA’s Phase 1 priorities.
We believe that collaboration is essential. From securing regional gas supply through Mozambique’s ROMPCO pipeline to developing gas-to-power infrastructure, Vutomi Energy is aligned with the regulator’s vision for a reliable, diversified, and climate-conscious gas economy.
Together, the private and public sectors can unlock new investment, accelerate project execution, and deliver energy security while building pathways to renewables and green hydrogen.
Let’s enable real progress—one gas project at a time.
