Section 2: Understanding of Grid Capacity Allocation Rules

This section focuses on your understanding of Eskom's Interim Grid Capacity Allocation Rules, which guide the fair and transparent distribution of available grid capacity. These rules are aligned with the Electricity Regulation Act (ERA) and are designed to ensure that projects demonstrating readiness are prioritised under the “first-ready, first-served” principle. Key principles such as non-discriminatory access and Eskom’s rights to reserve or reallocate capacity are central to this framework. Your responses will help assess stakeholder awareness of these guiding policy elements.
