South Africa’s EPC compliance deadline has passed, yet many government and commercial buildings still do not have the required Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). Non-compliance can result in fines of up to R5 million, five years’ imprisonment, or both. Experts warn that poor compliance is delaying energy efficiency improvements, limiting access to sustainability funding, and costing both government and businesses significant savings. Building owners are urged to comply before penalties are enforced.

In this 12-Part series, we will look at what strategies companies are using to successfully reduce carbon emissions| Shifting Gears, Part 1: Ford Motor Company

Ford Motor Company highlighted significant progress toward its environmental goals in its latest Sustainability Report. The company has reduced COâ‚‚ emissions by increasing the use of carbon-free electricity across its manufacturing plants, expanding its range of electric and hybrid vehicles, and working closely with suppliers to lower emissions throughout its supply chain. These efforts have contributed to a 43% reduction in global operations emissions and a 53% reduction in manufacturing emissions since 2017.

Earlier this year, Electricity and Energy Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa suggested suspending the country's carbon tax to ease the burden of grid constraints and rising electricity tariffs. Introduced to encourage businesses to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the carbon tax follows the principle that polluters should pay for the environmental impact of their activities. Because the Carbon Tax is entrenched in national legislation (the Carbon Tax Act) and aligns with international climate agreements, any suspension would require extensive parliamentary or cabinet approval. While some argue the tax has not achieved its intended goals, others believe it remains a key tool for driving investment in low-carbon projects, supporting climate commitments, and keeping South Africa competitive in a changing global economy.

The Department of Electricity and Energy (DEE) will be announcing the next steps for building owners who are non-compliant with the EPC regulation. In a recent Engineering News article, Deputy Minister Samantha Graham-Maré indicated that she will engage stakeholders in the sector to understand why compliance has been low. Latest statistics show that approximately 10,000 buildings have been registered and only 5,500 EPCs have been issued.

At BlackPeak Energy, we have successfully issued over 180 EPCs for various clients across the public and private sectors. From our experience, the low uptake of EPCs can be attributed to the following recurring challenges:

1. Lack of awareness: Building owners are still unfamiliar with the regulation and its requirements.
2. Administrative burden: Building owners often do not have the know-how or the time to register their buildings.

Since 2024, we have seen a strong focus on EPC compliance being championed by the Deputy Minister. This has already resulted in significant changes to the industry, like digitisation of EPCs through eazyEPC. Digitisation has resulted in increased quality while simultaneously improving EPC production times and security enhancements like the introduction of a QR code. To drive enforcement, we recommend leveraging digitisation with further enhancements like the QR code, which enables a quick, efficient way to authenticate certificates.

Climate change is increasing the risk of extreme heat at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with researchers at World Weather Attribution warning that nearly a quarter of matches could be played in unsafe conditions. Scientists say the growing heat risk is directly linked to human-caused carbon emissions and global warming, with around half of all human-induced climate change occurring since the 1994 World Cup in the USA. The study highlights how rising global temperatures are already affecting major global events and calls for urgent climate action to reduce future risks.

At BlackPeak Energy, we believe in empowering the next generation of leaders and innovators. 🌍⚡

As part of our commitment to youth development, we proudly participated in the 2026 Take a Girl Child to Work Day initiative by hosting Bukho Segano from Table View High School at our offices in Sandown Square Business Park, Cape Town.

The initiative gives young girls the opportunity to experience real-world working environments, explore potential career paths, and gain inspiration for their futures through mentorship and job-shadowing experiences.

We are honoured to support programmes that promote youth empowerment, confidence, and greater inclusion in the workplace — especially within STEM and sustainability-driven industries.

Together, we can help shape a more inclusive and empowered future for South Africa’s youth. 💡✨

South Africa’s Just Energy Transition (JET) continues to gain momentum with the groundbreaking of Phase 1A of Parsons Power Park in Nelson Mandela Bay. The 31 MWp solar project will supply clean electricity to businesses across the district through the municipal grid. Spanning 58 hectares with more than 47,000 solar panels, the project is expected to generate around 60 GWh of renewable energy annually while reducing carbon emissions by approximately 54,360 tonnes.

The project is expected to come online in Q1 2027. This project directly supports Net-Zero goals by cutting carbon emissions, lowering electricity costs, and creating local jobs while strengthening grid resilience. It demonstrates how large-scale renewable projects can deliver both climate and socio-economic benefits, aligning with the principles of a fair and inclusive transition

The chemicals and materials sector remains one of the essential foundations of the global economy, enabling industries from mobility and healthcare to construction and agriculture. At the same time, the sector remains one of the most emissions-intensive parts of the industrial system, responsible for roughly 2.5% of global emissions. A recent article by the World Economic Forum highlights how the Global Impact Coalition is helping industries move from climate discussions to real implementation by focusing on measurable, low-carbon solutions, focusing on collaboration, data-sharing, and practical ex*****on across entire value chains.
