Established in the 1950s, the CEF has played a central role in ensuring South Africa's energy security supply and making a significant contribution to the South African economy by contributing to the security of energy supply by providing affordable, reliable, diverse use of primary energy resources, and contributing to economic development; being a strategic partner to the DMPR by providing insights in support of policy development and regulation; aligning with government's broad objectives (NDP); and acting as a vehicle for economic growth, poverty alleviation and economic transformation. The mission of the CEF is to provide and enable sustainable energy security solutions for South Africa in order to contribute to economic development and alleviate poverty in an environmentally responsible manner. The vision of the CEF is to secure reliable and affordable diversified energy security solutions for the South African economy by 2030.
