The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) has released the Gas Masterplan base case report for public comment.
The Gas Masterplan, once developed, will serve as a policy instrument, providing a roadmap for taking strategic, political and institutional decisions, which will guide industry investment planning and coordinated implementation.
The base case report is intended to establish baseline information for the natural gas sector in South Africa, as well as outline the Gas Masterplan roadmap.
Such baseline information includes an overview of the gas value chain and regulatory framework; while the report also sets the scene for the Gas Masterplan development process.
Members of the public and affected stakeholders are invited to provide inputs and/or comments on the base case report by no later than January 31.
