Outside of the courts, Eskom and the National Energy Regulator of South Africa (Nersa) have resumed normal hostilities on their more customary playing field of public hearings, with initial oral representations heard on Monday into the State-owned utility’s latest Regulatory Clearing Account (RCA) application.
