# Energy expert Chris Yelland says Eskom’s legal challenge against the National Energy Regulator of South Africa is dangerously disingenuous. The power utility is opposing Nersa’s 2024 decision to issue five new electricity trading licences, as well as a cross-border trading licence. It argues that the trading licences represent a fundamental and unilateral change in policy by Nersa, that could upend the entire landscape of electricity provision. Yelland says Eskom’s court challenge represents a full-frontal assault on reform.
