Every page of the Gazettes and decisions we hold, word for word. Gazette search lists every national Gazette in GPW’s online list, held or not; it starts in May 2016 and counts only copies that are GPW’s own file, so some Gazettes here (older fuel, rate and toll notices among them) are not counted there. 175 decisions are for 2026/27, the ones the bills use; the other is kept for reference (City Power’s for 2024/25).

Only official texts are here: Government Gazettes from the Government Printing Works and decisions of the National Energy Regulator (NERSA), which the Copyright Act (s12(8)(a)) leaves free of copyright. Each result names its publisher and links to the official copy. Our copy is the file we read the figures from, fingerprinted (sha256). Reports from the Department of Water and Sanitation aren’t here, as their terms don’t say they may be republished. The pages of NERSA decisions that list objectors and comments (455 pages) are left out, as they name people; in our copies of those decisions each such page is replaced by a page saying it is withheld, and the whole decision is on NERSA’s site. Pages printed as pictures are found only where we read them for a dataset. As data: /api/search/documents?q=.
