G7 Renewable Energies withdraws case against Eskom’s interim grid rules

G7 Renewable Energies has withdrawn its High Court review against Eskom’s Interim Grid Capacity Allocation Rules (IGCAR), following what it describes as “meaningful industry engagements” that have resulted in an “amicable resolution”. On June 17 Eskom unveiled the interim rules, which sought to address the prevailing scarcity of grid connections by shifting the allocation methodology from the ‘first come, first served’ approached that had applied previously to a ‘first ready, first served’ arrangement.
