SINAN RENEWABLE ENERGY PORTFOLIO
Sinan’s Planned 400MW Renewable Energy Portfolio of Power Plants aims to Produce Clean Energy and On-Chain Carbon Credits
- Sinan Energy’s first major tokenised project is the creation of 100MW of renewable power plants in the Northern West region of South Africa, one of the highest solar radiation regions in the world.
- Offtake agreements for 100MW of energy output from these plants have already been secured through power purchase agreements with confirmed energy prices thus ensuring the generation of revenues and carbon credits over the 20 year minimum life of the plant.
- The project is in the process of receiving all required permits including the approval of the environmental impact assessment and connection to the grid.
WHEELING
What is Wheeling?
Wheeling refers to the transportation of electricity from the generation site to the end customer, utilizing Eskom’s existing transmission and distribution network. This process enables businesses and municipalities to source power from independent producers, rather than relying solely on Eskom’s power plants.
How Does Wheeling Work?
Wheeling involves generating electricity at a renewable energy plant station (Point A), such as a solar or wind farm. The produced electricity is then fed into Eskom’s power pool, a shared system where electricity from various sources is collected and distributed. Once in the grid, the power can be virtually accessed from any location across the country. This means that businesses and municipalities can receive renewable energy from remote locations without the need to build their own power plants. By tapping into cleaner, cheaper electricity, they can reduce their reliance on Eskom’s coal-heavy supply wherever they operate.
The Benefits of Wheeling and Virtual Wheeling
Wheeling is especially beneficial for businesses and municipalities in dense urban areas where space for solar panels or wind turbines is limited. Instead of depending on space-restricted on-site generation, these customers can access clean, affordable power from remote renewable energy plants via Eskom’s grid. By utilizing Eskom’s network for wheeling, Sinan Energy ensures renewable power is available to clients regardless of their location, enabling them to lower costs without the need for extensive land or rooftop space. This approach also helps reduce the environmental impact of energy generation, contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
How is Sinan Energy Involved?
Sinan Energy is actively developing multiple wheeling projects across South Africa, delivering clean and affordable energy to businesses and municipalities nationwide. By leveraging wheeling, we help customers access lower-cost renewable energy. Our team comprises industry experts with deep knowledge in renewable energy, power distribution, and infrastructure development. With years of experience, we manage everything from project design and construction to energy management, ensuring a smooth and reliable power supply for our clients. One of the greatest benefits of wheeling is its cost advantage. Sinan Energy’s wheeled power comes at a significantly lower tariff than Eskom’s, with a more predictable and stable pricing structure. Our contracts offer lower annual price increases, helping businesses and municipalities avoid the steep electricity hikes associated with traditional energy suppliers. By choosing Sinan Energy, customers gain affordable, sustainable, and reliable power, reducing costs while contributing to a cleaner future.
