Three ways to wheel clean power
Direct, virtual or owned — the right structure depends on who supplies your business and how you want to participate.
Secure lower-cost renewable electricity.
Direct Wheeling gives your business access to renewable electricity generated off-site and delivered through Eskom's transmission network. Electricity is supplied under a bilateral Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) between your business and an independent power producer (IPP), while we manage the trading, settlement and compliance — helping you reduce electricity costs without investing in on-site generation.
Suited for
- ✓Businesses billed directly by Eskom.
- ✓Medium-voltage (MV) and higher-voltage connections on Time-of-Use tariffs.
- ✓Sites with limited space for on-site solar PV.
- ✓Existing solar PV systems that have reached their practical capacity but require greater renewable energy penetration.
Benefits
- ✓No on-site infrastructure or upfront capital investment.
- ✓Complements on-site battery arbitrage by supplying lower-cost energy for battery charging.
- ✓Flexible contract terms — from annual subscriptions to 25+ year PPAs.
How it works
Independent Power Producer (IPP)
Generates renewable electricity at an off-site solar or wind facility.
Eskom Grid
The electricity is injected into the Eskom transmission network and virtually allocated to your business.
Your Business
You continue consuming electricity through your existing Eskom connection while receiving wheeling credits on your Eskom bill.
How billing works
Pay the agreed Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) tariff for the renewable electricity supplied.
Pay your monthly Eskom bill, including network (use-of-system) charges, less the wheeling credits applied to your account.
How it works
Wheeling made straightforward
A simple, transparent process — from first conversation to ongoing savings.
