In another shock move, Eskom seeks review of Nersa decision to issue four new trading licences

In another surprise move, Eskom has taken the seemingly regressive step of approaching the High Court for a review of the National Energy Regulator of South Africa’s (Nersa’s) decision to grant four trading licenses in what it describes as its area of supply. In a statement released a day after the Energy Regulator, Nersa’s top decision-making structure, approved trading licences in favour of CBI Electric Apollo, Discovery Green, Green Electron Market and GreenCo Power Services, Eskom reiterated objections first raised during public hearings on July 18.
