Diversified Renewable Energy: The EXSA Advantage

October 16, 2024

In South Africa’s evolving energy landscape, businesses are increasingly seeking reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective alternatives to traditional power sources.

As a NERSA-licensed electricity trader, we’ve built a diversified renewable energy portfolio that delivers a multitude of benefits. Let’s dive in and explore why partnering with EXSA is the best move for your company.

  1. Harnessing Solar and Wind Power

At EXSA, we harness South Africa’s abundant solar and wind resources to create a dynamic energy mix. Think of it as a perfect blend of sunshine and breeze, optimised to power your business throughout the day and across seasons. We use sophisticated analytics protocols, multivariate optimisation, and market-leading portfolio-level design tools to ensure your energy supply is precisely tailored to your specific needs and goals.

And while we’re already leading the way with solar and wind, we’re not stopping there. We’re constantly exploring new technologies, like energy storage solutions, to enhance our offerings and bring you even greater reliability.

  1. The Benefits of Diversification

We believe in spreading our risk – and yours. As a licensed electricity trader, we source energy from a diverse network of Independent Power Producers (IPPs) across South Africa. 

By aggregating energy from multiple sources, we create a robust and resilient portfolio that maximises overall energy savings and contributes to the consistency of your energy supply. This diversified approach not only enhances reliability but also allows us to tailor solutions to your individual needs, offering flexible contracts and competitive pricing without the constraints of traditional energy procurement models.

  1. Mitigating Risk, Maximising Value

Our diversified portfolio isn’t just about reliability; it’s also about peace of mind. By spreading our energy sources across different generators and locations, we minimise the impact of potential disruptions. If one generator has a disruption or a local grid experiences issues, we can seamlessly tap into other sources, maintaining your access to less expensive, green electrons.

In a country where load-shedding is a reality,our approach of combining customer demand enables us to support the growth of renewable energy on the grid. This increased demand for renewable energy helps incentivise the development of new renewable energy projects, which over time, can reduce the frequency and severity of load-shedding. So while we can’t eliminate the risk entirely, over time, more generation will mean less loadshedding. We’re definitely making it easier for IPP’s to participate but this process will evolve over years. 

  1. Transparency and Collaboration: We’re in This Together

At EXSA, we believe in open and honest communication, and building lasting relationships with our clients. We are committed to keeping our customers informed every step of the way with regular updates on generator performance, portfolio developments, and risk mitigation strategies. As we celebrate 7 years of growth and innovation, we remain your long-term partners in this journey to a cleaner energy future, and we’re excited to continue supporting your business for many years to come.

  1. Looking Ahead

We’re always looking for ways to improve and innovate. We keep a close eye on emerging technologies and market trends to ensure our portfolio remains at the forefront of the renewable energy sector. As new technologies and market products become commercially viable, we’ll be ready to integrate them and bring you even better energy solutions.

By choosing EXSA, you’re not just choosing an energy provider; you’re choosing a partner who’s invested in your success. Through our diversified portfolio, innovative approach, and customer-centric focus, we’re committed to helping your business thrive with clean, reliable, and cost-effective energy.
