Earth & Wire buys, packages and sells clean electricity to South African commercial and industrial users. It is the gateway through which a company can purchase energy directly from EnergyFields, without having to negotiate its own project-level power purchase agreement.
It is positioned to become South Africa's leading customer-centric private electricity provider, managing supply from Dimsum Energy's projects through to industrial and commercial energy consumers and municipal offtakers.
Customers take flexible wheeled renewable power over their existing grid connections. There is no new infrastructure to build on the customer side, and no requirement to commit to the rigid long-term contract structures that have kept most businesses out of the private market.
What it does
Smart virtual utility
Sells flexible wheeled renewable power to commercial and industrial users over their existing grid connections. Rolling, short-form procurement instead of rigid long-term PPAs, with shaped supply from wind, solar and battery storage.
Generator to load matching
Pairs generators with consumers on one-to-one wheeling agreements, so a customer can be matched to specific generation rather than to an anonymous pool. Environmental attributes pass to the buyer with the energy.
The operational layer
Registration, allocation, metering, billing and settlement are run through Earth & Wire's metering and platform partnerships, so the customer deals with one counterparty and one clear tariff rather than a stack of agreements.
The gateway to the generation
Earth & Wire holds contracted rights over EnergyFields output that is not committed under the anchor power purchase agreement. That is what allows a commercial or industrial customer to buy energy from the cluster directly, at retail scale.
