PPA and wheeling savings calculator.

Compare the buyer’s current grid-only cost with a wheeled renewable supply case after PPA energy, network and service charges, and residual grid supply.

What this first-pass comparison includes

The grid-only case is annual load multiplied by the benchmark tariff. The wheeled case adds PPA energy, network and service costs on delivered renewable energy, plus residual grid supply for the part of the load not covered by renewable delivery.

  • It assumes annual energy quantities rather than interval settlement.
  • Demand charges, time-of-use shape, surplus treatment, imbalance, taxes and tariff-block effects are not modelled separately.
  • The break-even PPA price is the PPA energy price that leaves the buyer level with the grid-only benchmark on the assumptions entered.
Use current supplier, municipal, Eskom, trader and contract schedules for a live South African wheeling case. This calculator is an indicative commercial screen, not a quotation or legal interpretation.

When annual MWh is not enough

Most real wheeling questions are about timing.

Two cases can have the same annual renewable share and very different buyer savings. Half-hourly or hourly load, generator profile, time-of-use tariffs, demand charges, loss factors and settlement rules decide how much energy actually offsets the expensive parts of the bill.
