The aim of this study was to the investigate the role of financial and fiscal reforms in upscaling renewable energy access for the business sector as a mechanism to promote sustainability, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance energy security in South Africa. The literature review analysed the available incentives for South African businesses to establish policy impediments towards energy security and decarbonisation goals. This qualitative, comparative review benchmarked best policy practice in China, Denmark, India, and Germany, as countries that have advanced in their transition towards renewable energy. The findings of the study indicate that the cost of compliance is high and fiscal instruments are onerous and complex. Furthermore, some businesses lack awareness of their eligibility to access renewable energy tax incentives. For financial instruments, the predetermined rate is critical in ensuring that an excessive burden is not imposed on the fiscus. The study recommends simplifying the design of financial and fiscal instruments to ensure that more South African businesses upscale renewable energy investments. Additionally, lowering the administrative costs of compliance as well as limiting the multiple agencies that govern financial and fiscal reforms can contribute towards simplifying the administrative and regulatory burden.
