The implementation partners of NEEA include the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) and Eskom. It is envisaged that the NEEA will initially oversee the implementation of Demand Side Management (DSM) and Energy Efficiency projects undertaken by Eskom and other entities in the country. The DSM funds will in the interim remain with Eskom as the main implementing agency, who will continue to manage these funds with the oversight of the NEEA governance body.
