Established in March 2004 through a directive issued by the Minister of Minerals and Energy, the National Energy Efficiency Agency (NEEA) is located within the Central Energy Fund as a wholly incorporated division. Its prime mandate is to promote the efficient use of energy in South Africa by any means possible. This crosses all sectors, including electricity, transport, gas, liquid fuels. The aim is to create an energy efficient society given the current energy crisis and environmental impact of our energy usage.
