General Relativity extensions based on Renormalization Group effects are motivated by a known physical principle and constitute a class of extended gravity theories that have some unexplored unique aspects. In this work we develop in detail the Newtonian and post Newtonian limits of a realisation called Renormalization Group extended General Relativity (RGGR). Special attention is taken to the external potential effect, which constitutes a type of screening mechanism typical of RGGR. In the Solar System, RGGR depends on a single dimensionless parameterν , and this parameter is such that forν = 0 one fully recovers GR in the Solar System. Previously this parameter was constrained to be |ν | 10 −21 , without considering the external potential effect. Here we show that under a certain approximation RGGR can be cast in a form compatible with the Parametrised Post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism, and we use both the PPN formalism and the Laplace-Runge-Lenz technique to put new bounds onν , either considering or not the external potential effect. With the external potential effect the new bound reads |ν | 10 −16 . We discuss the possible consequences of this bound to the dark matter abundance in galaxies.
