Nersa committee recommends licensing of four more traders, batting away Eskom objections

The electricity subcommittee of the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) has recommended the approval of four more electricity trading licences, dismissing the objections raised by Eskom’s distribution division during hearings in July. The recommendation that GreenCo Power Services, Discovery Green, Green Electron Market and CBI Electric Apollo receive national trading licences will now be taken to the Energy Regulator, Nersa’s highest decision-making body, for approval.
