The Johannesburg High Court has ruled that a small Free State municipality is not allowed to use its own solar power to reduce load-shedding, despite sourcing much of its electricity from private power plants.
The Johannesburg High Court has ruled that a small Free State municipality is not allowed to use private solar power to reduce load-shedding.
This process is known as “voiding”, wherein a distributor can compensate for the generation shortfall from Eskom through embedded generation. It argued that voiding undermined the purpose of load-shedding and said Rural Maintenance had not disclosed it would implement the practice once its agreement with Eskom had been concluded.
But the firm said that Eskom did not put any documentary or expert evidence in front of the court supporting this.
