What
Mezzanine has developed a digital platform to enable virtual energy wheeling for Eskom in South Africa.
Traditionally, wheeling referred to the transfer of privately generated energy from the point of generation, e.g. a solar farm in the Northern Cape to an Eskom-connected high-voltage consumer situated in a different geographical location. However, there are practical and contractual challenges in leveraging traditional wheeling at a scale to mitigate the current energy crisis.
Virtual Wheeling was thus developed to circumvent the challenges inherent with traditional wheeling.
ESKOM recently approved a new virtual wheeling policy with the goal of stimulating the supply and increasing demand for renewable energy sources by:
Mezzanine’s Virtual Wheeling Platform (VWP) is the digital tool used to collect, aggregate, account, process, and report Time of Use (ToU) data for both energy generation and consumption. This is necessary for Eskom to calculate the Buyer’s Wheeled Energy Refund (WER).
Virtual Wheeling is therefore a new digital concept that accelerates access to alternative and additional energy sources, helping to reduce the deficit in supply over the short, medium, and long term. This will contribute to the Presidency’s Energy Action Plan under NECOM in achieving its stated objectives.
If you are an Energy Trader, Buyer, Municipality or Independent Power Producer with an interest in using the Mezzanine Virtual Wheeling Platform, contact us to arrange an introduction and discuss the value to your organisation.
