How Wheeling Works

OAE structures Power Purchase Agreements under both of Eskom's recognised frameworks. The right one depends on how many sites you have and how you want your savings delivered.

Traditional Wheeling

Best for 1–5 sites

  • Savings appear as a credit on your bill
  • Fees charged per point of delivery
  • Amended Eskom or municipal supply agreement
  • Best for one-to-one transactions

Virtual Wheeling

Best for 30+ sites

  • Savings paid as a cash rebate
  • Fixed fee covering unlimited accounts
  • No changes to existing supply agreements
  • Municipal-connected sites eligible

Both models calculate the rebate on a Time-of-Use (TOU) basis — aligning generation with consumption across Peak, Standard, and Off-Peak periods. OAE handles the structuring, claim submission, and reconciliation end-to-end.

How It Works

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

1

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.

2

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.

3

Defining and Facilitating Negotiations

OAE levels the playing field by embedding industry expertise into tenders and structuring commercial terms around the buyer's parameters.

4

Post-Contracting and Administration

Once a PPA begins, OAE acts as the single point of contact. Backed by a R55 million software platform, OAE manages reporting, verification, and analytics.

5

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.
