Description:
Independent power producer Rural Free State (RFS) has started switching off parts of its solar farms after the Johannesburg High Court dismissed its case against Eskom with costs, Sunday Times reports. As a result of the ruling, RFS has to throttle its electricity generation. It also halted a 480kW solar project in Frankfort that was nearly finished. According to the report, RFS is forced to dump half of the electricity it could supply to the town.
