Electricity trader Enpower Trading has been granted an import/export licence by the National Energy Regulator of South Africa to participate in cross-border electricity transactions within the Southern African Development Community.

The approval builds on Enpower’s domestic trading licence, awarded in February 2022, and advances the implementation of the Electricity Regulation Act’s provisions for regional power market integration. According to the company, it is one of the first private entities in South Africa to receive this type of licence. Enpower is now positioned to trade electricity across borders under the rules of the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP).
