Turn large power bills into long-term savings and recurring income.
WattExchange connects large energy users, brokers and IPPs through a transparent wheeling marketplace. Buyers lock in competitive renewable tariffs while brokers earn 15–20% of our transaction fees for the full PPA term.
For brokers
You already control the relationship and the billing data. WattExchange lets you turn that into a structured wheeling programme with transparent pricing and recurring fees.
Upfront bonuses
Earn once-off cash bonuses for every qualified buyer that signs a Buyer Agreement through you, scaled to their monthly electricity spend.
15–20% recurring commission
Get between 15% and 20% of our transaction fees on each PPA you introduce, paid monthly for the full life of the contract (typically 10–20 years).
Zero capex, low risk
No capital outlay, no performance obligation under the PPA – just reputation and relationship. We handle the complexity, you keep the client.
For buyers
Buying from private generators can be complex and risky. WattExchange makes it feel like a structured, data-driven procurement process – without running a manual tender.
Pre-qualified IPPs & traders
We screen suppliers for compliance, financial stability and delivery risk so you only see credible offers capable of long-term performance.
Transparent comparisons
Our platform standardises proposals, models different tariff paths and shows the impact of PPA terms vs Eskom and municipal tariffs over time.
Post-contract administration
We stay involved after signature: billing reconciliation, reporting, supplier performance and adjustments as your load changes.

Broker & buyer FAQ
How do brokers get paid?
Brokers receive a once-off bonus when a buyer they introduced signs a Buyer Agreement, plus a 15–20% share of WattExchange’s transaction fees on every PPA linked to that buyer, paid monthly for the full contract term.
Is there any capital outlay for buyers?
No. Wheeling through WattExchange typically involves long-term PPAs with private generators and traders – buyers avoid capex while accessing renewable supply.
Who owns the data?
Buyers retain ownership of their raw data. WattExchange processes it only to run market processes and manage transactions, in full compliance with POPIA.
Can buyers still work with their existing advisors?
Yes. We often collaborate with internal teams and external advisors. Our platform provides the structured data and scenarios; your advisors help interpret and validate decisions.
