Members were advised late in April 2025 that SAPOA is continuing its engagements with the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (“the DMRE”) and SANEDI regarding the requirements that office buildings have to display valid Energy Performance Certificates (“EPCs”) by 7 December 2025.
Further to these engagements, SAPOA recently had a constructive meeting with the Deputy Minister of Mineral Resources where various of the relevant issues facing the industry, including EPCs, were discussed.
As was stated in the previous notice, SANEDI and the DMRE have addressed various of the concerns which SAPOA and its members had previously raised regarding EPCs.
Members are requested to inform us of any further practical problems they may be experiencing in obtaining EPCs. Members are furthermore requested to let us know should they be of the view that they will be unable to meet the deadline of 7 December 2025, due to problems experienced with SANEDI and/or the DMRE.
These comments and concerns may be sent to ceo@sapoa.org.za, in order for us to take the matter further.
