South African power-project developer G7 Renewable Energies withdrew a case opposing new rules governing the connection of power plants to the national electricity grid, after adjustments were made on how they would be implemented.

The company brought the case against state-owned utility Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. in July, arguing that interim rules that were adopted to make the process of getting access to the grid more equitable would actually hinder new operators. Industry discussions that followed helped to resolve issues around the new protocol, according to G7.
