The National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) has extended the deadline for written comments on its revised draft Rules for Electricity Trading by a month from August 28 to September 28.
The regulator said the extension intends to give stakeholders and members of the public more time to consider the proposals and participate in the consultation process.
The revised rules were released in June for a second round of consultation to address bilateral trading, wheeling, non-bypassable charges and the phased introduction of retail competition.
NERSA said the current version has been “significantly expanded and revised based on previous stakeholder comments”.
Written submissions must be sent to TradingRulesDevelopmentTeam@nersa.org.za by September 28.
