The Eskom Project

Eskom, the largest electricity provider in Africa, has contracted with Comverge to manage its complex supply and demand challenges by creating and co-managing Africa’s first open market for demand response resources. Comverge is deploying the IntelliSOURCE 2.0 platform for Eskom to register, dispatch and operate a new competitive demand response market in South Africa for an initial 500 Megawatts (MWs) of demand response resources. In addition, the agreement calls for Comverge to provide at least 100 MWs directly as one of the new curtailment service providers (CSPs) serving this newly established market.

Headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa, Eskom generates, transmits and distributes approximately 95 percent of the electricity used in South Africa and approximately 45 percent of the electricity used in Africa. With peak demand in South Africa at around 37,000 MW, Eskom selected Comverge to help balance supply and demand across a diverse customer base that includes industrial, mining, commercial, and agricultural customers and redistributors.
