Page 6 of 21
3. GENERAL AGREEMENT

The City approves the Consumer to be supplied with Wheeled energy from a Third
Party Supplier via the City’s Electricity Grid, subject to the terms and conditions
contained herein.

4. MEASUREMENT OF CONSUMED ENERGY AND WHEELED ENERGY

4.1 The Consumed Energy shall be measured monthly by Eskom and/or by the City
(as the case may be) at the Consumer’s Point of Supply for each Billing Period
on a half-hourly basis.

4.2 Where duplicate meters have been installed at the Consumer’s Point of Supply
and the meter readings at any time differ by more than 2,5% (two comma five per
centum) from the average of the two readings, then for the purposes of rendering
accounts, if the City’s records show that the discrepancy is attributable to one
meter only, the reading of the other meter shall be taken, but if the discrepancy is
due to the inaccuracy of both meters the average of the reading of both meters
shall be taken. Such meters shall be tested and, the account of the Consumer will
be adjusted accordingly after the inaccuracy has been ascertained.

4.3 The Wheeled Energy shall be measured monthly by Eskom and/or by the City (as
the case may be) at the relevant intake points for each Billing Period on a half-
hourly basis.

4.4 Measurement of the Wheeled Energy shall be in accordance with the relevant
Generator Grid Connection and Use-of-System Agreement with the City or with
Eskom as the case may be.

4.5 During any period when the meter readings at the Generator Point of Connection
have not registered, or are unreliable due to the meters or any associated
equipment being defective, a reasonable estimate may be made by the City or
Eskom where applicable taking into account the evidence supplied by any meters
belonging to the Generator contracted by the Third Party Supplier. The
account(s) for such period shall be based on such estimate. The account will be
adjusted at a later stage once verified meter readings have been received by the
City.

4.6 Defective meters shall be tested and repaired by the responsible party.

4.7 For any period when the meter readings or estimates taken by Eskom have not
been received by the City within the prescribed time or in the prescribed format,
the relevant Wheeled Energy will be deemed to be zero for the corresponding
billing cycle. The account will be adjusted at a later stage once the relevant meter
readings and the prescribed adjustment fee have been received by the City.

Page 7 of 21
5. ALLOCATION OF WHEELED ENERGY

5.1 The City will allocate the nominated energy to be Wheeled to the Consumer as
detailed in Schedule 3.

5.2 The Consumer indemnifies the City for any damages or losses that may arise
from the City applying the nominated allocation, whether this results from a
change in allocation or a modification to the agreement between the Consumer
and Third Party Supplier whether communicated to the City or not.

5.3 If a percentage or ranking nomination is made, the same percentage or ranking


will be applied for each Time of Use period.

6. CHARGES FOR ELECTRICITY

6.1 The tariff applied under this wheeling agreement will be as detailed in Schedule
2.

6.2 The Consumer shall be liable for all charges as per the City’s Prescribed Tariffs
as amended from time to time. All charges, as applicable, will be billed on the
monthly electricity account.

6.3 The City’s Time of Use periods will be used in the calculation of all Time of
Use related charges.

6.4 Consumers will not be paid if the monthly bill goes into credit (due to Surplus
Wheeled Energy credits) and any credit balance will be carried forward to the
following month.

6.5 The aforesaid tariffs are amended annually on 1 July of each calendar year, as
regards quantum and structure, and are applicable to all existing and new
Wheeling Consumers. The City reserves the right to make amendments to the
tariff as stated and does not warrant the financial viability of the Consumer’s
wheeling arrangements.

6.6 The prescribed Tariffs shall be furnished to the Consumer upon written request to
the City.

7. ENERGY BALANCING

7.1 Energy at both the Consumer’s Point of Supply and the Wheeled Energy at
the applicable Intake points and Generator’s Points of Connection will be
metered over half hourly metering integration periods and energy balancing
will be done over the same period. Deficit Wheeled Energy will be charged
and Surplus Wheeled Energy will be credited at regulated tariffs. Unless the
City has agreed in writing to compensate the Consumer for Surplus Wheeled

Page 8 of 21
Energy to enable to Consumer to green their Consumed Energy, Surplus
Wheeled Energy will be taken at zero price.

7.2 In the event of the Third Party Supplier not being able to inject power onto the
electricity network for whatsoever reason, consumption which is not balanced
with Wheeled Energy will be considered to be Deficit Wheeled Energy.

7.3 In the event of the Consumer not being able to receive electricity for whatsoever
reason, Wheeled Energy which is not balanced with consumed energy will be
considered to be Surplus Wheeled Energy.

8. GREENING MECHANSIM / PURCHASE OF SURPLUS WHEELED ENERGY

8.1 In order to allow consumers to green their consumption of electrical energy


the City will purchase Surplus Wheeled Energy wheeled to the Consumer on
a time-of-use feed-in basis but excluding the purchase of the associated
Green Benefits. This purchase, will allow the Green Benefits to be retained by
the Consumer to green the Deficit Energy purchased.

8.2 The Consumer shall be liable to verify the Green attributes of the Wheeled
Energy. If such verification is not provided to the satisfaction of the City, the
City reserves the right to cease Surplus Wheeled Energy purchases under
the greening mechanism.

8.3 As the total green energy wheeled by the Third Party Supplier should balance
the Total Energy consumed by the Consumer, the Surplus Wheeled Energy
purchased by the City should not exceed the Deficit Wheeled Energy
supplied. Should the Surplus Wheeled Energy materially exceed the Deficit
Wheeled Energy over a 12-month period, the City reserves the right to limit
the Surplus Wheeled Energy it will purchase under the greening mechanism.

8.2 The Consumer will be responsible to manage the supply of Surplus Energy.

9. OWNERSHIP OF GREEN BENEFITS

The City will not be responsible for the verification or certification of Green Benefits
of Wheeled Energy (Ownership of the Green Benefits should be addressed in the
Power Purchase Agreement between the Generator/Third Party Supplier and the
Consumer of the Wheeled Energy. Where the Consumer enters into greening
mechanism with the City, the Consumer will need to certify that they have ownership
of green benefits of the wheeled energy).
