Turning consumption into control

Manage demand intelligently to cut waste, improve sustainability, and strengthen resilience

Energy Efficiency Demand Side Management (EEDSM) is a strategic approach used to reduce electricity consumption and manage peak energy demand. In South Africa, the EEDSM programme is a government initiative led by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE), with support from the South African National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI). It focuses on improving energy efficiency, lowering demand on the grid, and supporting sustainable energy management.

Baseline Assessment

A detailed audit of current electricity consumption to identify areas with high energy-saving potential

Technology Deployment

targeted energy‑efficient tech is installed such as LED streetlights to HVAC upgrades and SmartEH geyser controllers.

Data Monitoring and Verification

Modern EEDSM projects rely on smart technologies to provide live data on energy consumption

The Smart Path to Sustainability

Reduce GHG Emissions

Reducing electricity consumption helps the country meet its climate change mitigation goals

Economic Savings

Reducing energy  expenditure frees up capital for consumers and improves the competitiveness

Sustainability

This minimises the environmental impact of energy consumption while ensuring affordable energy
