# The National Union of Mine Workers says it supports Eskom’s legal challenge against the energy regulator Nersa’s decision to grant five electricity trading licences and one import/export licence. The power utility argues that traders will target the large power users that are the best-paying clients of both Eskom and the municipal distributors, thereby undermining their sustainability. Electricity and Energy mnister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa has called on Eskom to drop the court challenge. NUM says this litigation is essential for establishing clear rules of operation within the energy sector.
