POWERX<br />
Stimulating the use of clean power.<br />
POWERX is the pioneer in the trading of electricity<br />
in South Africa and is supplying various businesses<br />
with “green” power.<br />
POWERX holds a NERSA-issued electricity trading<br />
licence which allows it to buy and sell power generated<br />
from renewable/clean resources, using the national<br />
grid network to facilitate such trade. POWERX<br />
uses the municipal grid network where such agreements<br />
exist with the relevant municipalities.<br />
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) provide proof<br />
of origin that the power has been generated from<br />
a renewable resource. This represents additional<br />
value for the customer and shows commitment to<br />
reducing carbon emissions.<br />
POWERX is focused on the end goal of stimulating<br />
the production and consumption of clean power<br />
in South Africa.<br />
As an aggregator, POWERX is able to assume and<br />
actively manage the risks that generators and customers<br />
cannot assume or mitigate themselves.<br />
POWERX currently operates exclusively in Nelson<br />
Mandela Bay Municipality, however we have recently<br />
secured agreements with the Umjindi and Mandini<br />
municipalities which enables us to use their distribution<br />
network to trade in that territory. POWERX is<br />
well advanced in its plan to expand its footprint to<br />
cover more municipal regions across South Africa.<br />
DYNAMIC PROPOSITION<br />
POWERX offers a dynamic value proposition to<br />
municipalities which includes stimulation of the<br />
generation of power within the municipal borders,<br />
boosting local economic development, reduction<br />
in carbon emissions, revenue protection through<br />
active management of embedded generation to<br />
avoid grid defection, and cost avoidance through<br />
reduction in existing ancillary electricity charges.<br />
The procurement of power via POWERX ensures<br />
predictability of annual cost increases and also allows<br />
us to provide a discount on power supplied<br />
to customers depending on their respective tariff<br />
structure.<br />
