Sign more offtake, off market. South Africa's commercial buildings buy roughly R100bn of grid power a year, and we know which owners are worth your call.
The big funds are a bidding war. The layer below them is not: owner-occupier landlords with real load, in wheeling-approved municipalities, invisible from a boardroom and missing from every bought list. We hold South Africa's commercial property data, we filter it hard, and we hand your team small, exclusive batches of offtaker leads with the dead ends already removed.
Where wheeling origination leaks.
Red-ocean shortlists
Everyone originates against the same big property funds. Advised, auctioned and margin-squeezed: a bidding war before you have started.
The invisible layer
Owner-occupier landlords below the fund radar: real load, and one entity that owns the building and signs the deal. Thousands of them, and no list to buy.
Municipal dead ends
Assets in the wrong municipality kill deals late that data would have killed on day one.
Origination drag
Manual research, portfolio roll-ups by hand, decision-makers hunted one profile at a time. Senior time spent below its pay grade.
Precision pays. Off market wins.
High contract values and long cycles reward filtering before spending. We work from wheeling-approved geographies upwards, roll every property up to its apex owner (the ultimate owner across its whole portfolio), and filter at the property, the business and the people level. You get a small, exclusive batch, with the non-starters already gone.
Our value is in the leads we do not give you. No list of wheeling-ready offtakers exists; every lead is built from the ground up, then cut down to the few worth your quarter.
A list hands you names. We hand you offtakers worth a meeting.

Why we can do what others can't.
Built from the ground up
No magic list exists for this space. We build every lead, then filter it down to the few that fit.
Exclusive, never bruised
You get exclusive access to your leads for a defined, extendable period. No recycled lists, no shared prospects.
Deep commercial property credibility
Over R3bn in deals supported, top property companies as clients, and the Industrial Development Corporation innovation grant behind the methods.
Responsibly sourced
POPIA compliant, with a clean, conflict-free model and a solid framework for prospect engagement.
One proof of concept. R2.1bn a year of offtake identified.
Solar penetration across those portfolios sat at just 16%, so the load is still on the grid. Revenue and lifetime-value figures are the engagement's own conservative estimates, on stated assumptions.
A R100bn-a-year market, mapped building by building.
We estimate the opportunity for wheeling clean energy to South African commercial property at approximately R100 billion a year. Not modelled from averages: built up from the country's commercial building stock, property by property.
Every lead traces back to a real, mapped property and its owner. That is the difference between a batch that converts and one that wastes your quarter.
How we get to R100bn a year.
South African electricity users pay roughly R345 billion a year for grid power: Eskom's FY2025 revenue of R340.9 billion, less exports of about R10 billion, plus the R15 to R20 billion margin municipalities earn on resale (Eskom results, September 2025; StatsSA Financial Census of Municipalities). We estimate the commercial property sector, meaning offices, retail centres and rentable industrial property, and excluding mines, smelters and other heavy single-purpose plants, consumes 50 to 60 TWh of that a year, worth some R115 to R170 billion at prevailing tariffs.
Allowing for continued rooftop solar self-consumption (a further roughly 6 TWh as the remaining economic roof space is built out), and pricing wheeled energy at a 20% discount to retail tariffs, the total addressable market for wheeling clean energy to commercial property is R80 to R120 billion a year, centred on R100 billion.
