Buyers Programme - Renewable Energy Procurement

Buyers Programme

Helping large energy users procure renewable electricity efficiently, transparently, and without a formal tender process.

How It Works

A technology-driven platform for PPA procurement and long-term energy management.

Our Role

Open Access Energy provides a digital procurement platform, Energypro, that manages the commercial, legal, and operational steps to buy electricity from IPPs and traders. Buyers gain transparent comparisons, risk-mitigated contracts, and continuous support.

Pre-Contracting Services

OAE pre-qualifies IPPs for compliance, technical capability, and financial stability. Only credible projects are presented, reducing buyer exposure to project failure and delays.

Defining and Facilitating Negotiations

Power Purchase Agreements are complex. OAE levels the playing field by embedding industry expertise into tenders and structuring commercial terms around the buyer's parameters. Energypro automates bid updates and communication for a transparent process.

Post-Contracting and Administration

Once a PPA begins, OAE acts as the single point of contact. Backed by a R55 million software platform and investors such as Factor E, Equator, and E3 Capital, OAE manages reporting, verification, and analytics on performance.

Supply Volume Adjustments

Comprehensive historical data analysis and forward-looking projections for strategic energy planning and investment decisions.

Why use OAE?

Comprehensive reporting suite with customisable dashboards, KPI tracking, and regulatory compliance documentation.

No Comparable Alternative

No other company in South Africa provides a digital platform that automates and manages end-to-end PPA procurement. Manual tenders cannot replicate OAE's modelling or commercial precision.

Cost Comparison in Context

Advisory firms charge once-off fees with each revision adding cost. OAE's transaction-based fee structure delivers stronger long-term outcomes and alignment of incentives.

Ongoing Alignment of Interests

OAE remains involved throughout the PPA term, ensuring performance and value. Our success depends on the PPA's long-term viability, aligning our interests directly with the buyer's.
