Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd.’s new rules on allocating connections to the national transmission grid will impose greater costs on developers of new generation plants and their customers, according to the South African Independent Power Producers Association.
The state-owned utility last week revised the protocol for developers to acquire connections to the grid after projects were sidelined because of a lack of access. The new rules will increase the amount of money that developers must spend before they know whether they have access to the grid, Brian Day, chairman of SAIPPA, said in an interview Monday on Johannesburg-based broadcaster 702.
