The Institute of Energy Professionals Africa (IEPA), together with the Department of Electricity and Energy (DEE), PAS Automation, EASA and industry partners, hosted a national webinar on the implementation and enforcement of South Africa's Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Regulations.
The session highlighted the DEE’s phased enforcement approach, which includes compliance notices, mandatory compliance plans, municipal inspections and, where necessary, legal action. It also introduced new digital tools to support reporting of non-compliant buildings and compliance monitoring using the eazyEPC platform.

Building owners are strongly advised to familiarise themselves with their EPC Regulatory responsibilities and obtain their EPC now.
