Cape Town ordered to settle IPP dispute with Minister, but case can be re-enrolled if talks fail

The City of Cape Town, which approached the High Court in 2017 for an order allowing it to procure renewable energy from independent power producers (IPPs) without first securing the consent of the Energy Minister, has been directed by the court seek a settlement with the Minister and the regulator. Should it fail to secure a settlement, however, the city would be entitled to return to the court to have the matter heard again.
