Eskom expects to roll-out virtual wheeling scheme before end of 2024

Electricity utility Eskom expects to formally roll-out a virtual wheeling scheme, which it has been piloting with mobile telecoms group Vodacom since August, to the rest of the market before the end of 2024. The contracting platform will allow for one or more generators to transact with multiple customers that have operations distributed across the country, including those whose facilities are located in municipal distribution areas and connected to low-voltage networks.
