Sources

UTCS × Standard Bank Alignment Document (MoU)

Date

July 2026 · signed by Standard Bank BCB 03 Aug 2026

Supports

Memorandum of Understanding for Municipal Peer-to-Peer Energy Wheeling — Phase 1 no-cost simulation purpose, objectives, scope, roles, governance, expected outcomes and Phase 1 principles (exclusivity, cost, IP).

Caveat

Non-binding MoU. It guides the no-cost simulation phase and creates no legal or commercial obligation; binding agreements may follow the conclusion of Phase 1.

Peer-to-Peer Wheeling Under Schedule 2 (Practical Model)

Date

UtCS / DBNLM / Standard Bank explainer

Supports

Practical 6-step wheeling flow (generate → meter & register → wheel → capture & allocate → consume → bill, settle & rebate), legal & compliance foundations, ERA Schedule 2 and financial-legislation summary, and example municipal value economics.

Caveat

Practical interpretation only, with EXAMPLE economics — not fixed tariffs. Municipal implementation remains subject to applicable legislation, distributor rules, approved tariffs, NERSA registration and formal legal/compliance review.

DBNLM PV & BESS Engineering Design

Date

Programme design study

Supports

Bulk energy baseline (117.37 GWh, R212.83m), TOU composition, Phase 1 impact and Scenario A/B/C scale figures.

Caveat

Engineering-design scenario values — subject to financing, regulatory approval, site validation and implementation. Not guaranteed financial outcomes.

DBNLM SSEG / EPM Dashboard (Alternative Generators – New EPM)

Date

Operational export

Supports

Existing SSEG participation: 122 exporters, 4,937,081.74 kWh alternative generation, R5,914,885.99 ex VAT payments, R2,708,431.12 New EPM (Graaff-Reinet).

Caveat

Operational snapshot — values reflect the reporting period captured in the source export.

UtCS MyMunic Smart Energy Platform Architecture

Date

Platform reference

Supports

Four platform pillars — Technology, Legislation/Compliance, Real-Time Settlement, Customer Engagement — and the foundational energy trading rail concept.

Caveat

Architecture reference material provided by UtCS.

UtCS × Spendl Transactional Architecture

Date

Concept reference

Supports

Illustrates separation of energy settlement from financial distribution, and a potential automated beneficiary payout layer.

Caveat

Illustrative transactional architecture. Any use of Spendl or a banking partner is subject to confirmation — no agreement is implied.

Schedule 2 / SEA / SALGA / DMRE Regulatory Material

Date

2021 regulatory environment

Supports

Historical regulatory context on ERA Schedule 2, NERSA registration/licensing, distributor approval, wheeling and MFMA/SCM.

Caveat

Historical regulatory context — current position to be confirmed against applicable legislation and NERSA requirements. Not legal advice.

Tri-Party Kick-Off Meeting Agenda

Date

3 September 2026

Supports

Meeting structure, agenda items, durations and stated meeting outcomes.

Caveat

Facilitation document for the kick-off engagement.

Regulatory presentation content is strategic and explanatory, not legal advice. Engineering-design scenario values are subject to financing, regulatory approval, site validation and implementation, and are not guaranteed financial outcomes. Any reference to a banking partner or transactional provider is illustrative and subject to confirmation.
