Value Proposition of the EOSS<br />
Energy One Stop Shop<br />
Background of the EOSS<br />
The Energy One Stop Shop (EOSS), which was officially launched by Trade, Industry and Competition Minister, Ebrahim<br />
Patel, in July 2023 aims to assist energy project developers by expediting and unblocking bottlenecks experienced with<br />
authorisations and permits.<br />
The EOSS is part of the priority action plan of the Energy Mitigation Strategy and is a collaborative effort intended to<br />
contribute to resolving the energy crisis and provide much needed administrative guidance and support to developers<br />
to provide energy security in the country.<br />
Role of EOSS<br />
• Act as a conduit between developers and authorisation competent authorities.<br />
• Reduce administrative challenges encountered by energy project developers.<br />
• Provide a single window application entry and facilitation process for energy projects.<br />
• Shorten timeframes for project approvals by expediting, fast tracking and removing blockages.<br />
