Electricity Trading Framework Development

Eskom is inviting qualified consultants to submit proposals for developing a comprehensive framework that encompasses commercial valuation, tariff design, and system configuration aimed at optimizing its electricity trading operations. The project will involve a thorough review of existing wheeling and billing processes, including tariffs, contracts, and settlement mechanisms, to ensure alignment with the evolving South African electricity market. Key deliverables will include an aggregation model for billing, a renewable energy valuation methodology, and a robust tariff design that incorporates market risks and regulatory requirements.

The successful consultant will be responsible for translating Eskom's strategic vision into actionable frameworks that facilitate seamless integration of renewable energy solutions, top-up services, and customer aggregation. This initiative is critical for Eskom as it prepares for the anticipated South African Wholesale Electricity Market (SAWEM) environment, ensuring that its offerings remain competitive and compliant with regulatory standards. The consultant will also provide implementation support, knowledge transfer, and training to Eskom personnel to ensure sustainable operational capabilities.
