Manufacturing
Protect margins through the next tariff cycle
When energy is 12–28% of your unit cost, every R0.10/kWh is operating leverage. We re-paper your supply across IPP and grid so your factory floor pays a curve you helped negotiate.

The mission
Lower the cost of every kilowatt-hour our clients consume — by structuring power as a hedged financial position, not a procurement order. Predictable invoices. Renewable supply. Real R/kWh savings, audited monthly.
structured energy for
- Manufacturing & industrial
- Retail & property portfolios
- Logistics & cold chain
We don't sell energy. We structure it.
Three pillars. One book. Every position is built to lower a specific line on your invoice — capacity, energy, or network charges.
Pillar · A
Energy Trading
Bilateral agreements with IPPs and market participation. We capture the spread between Megaflex peak and IPP marginal cost — and pass the delta to you.
customise your energy→Pillar · B
Energy Supply
Solar, wind and other generation sourced from independent producers, blended with grid supply. One contract, multiple sources, one invoice.
fix your energy costs→Pillar · C
Energy Optimisation
Active load shaping, time-of-use arbitrage and tariff re-baselining on your existing meter. The cheapest megawatt is the one you don't draw at peak.
get better service→Lower energy costs
We optimise delivery and contract structure so you pay a curve you helped negotiate — predictable, indexed, hedged.
Sustainable, green attributes
Renewable supply with verifiable certificates (RECs / I-RECs) — counted toward your sustainability commitments.

The Ahtis approach
Our approach to energy procurement is designed to deliver a clear, rewarding outcome for every client — measured in rands per kilowatt-hour.
Attentive and flexible
No one-size-fits-all. We work with your finance and operations teams to craft a structure that fits your load shape, balance sheet and risk appetite.
Effortless transition
We handle every leg — IPP contract, wheeling agreement, use-of-system, balancing — so the switch is invisible to your operations team.
Price-path certainty
Pricing is CPI-linked, fixed or blended — predictable costs and long-term savings you can build a budget around.
how it works
Four steps. Roughly ten weeks from intro to first saving.
- 01
Energy Analysis
We pull twelve months of invoices, half-hourly profile, tariff structure and notified maximum demand. Then we benchmark.
Week 1–2
- 02
Deal Structuring
We design a tailored supply model — PPA terms, wheeling routes, hedge ratios — and price each leg.
Week 3–5
- 03
Supply Integration
We connect your business to cost-efficient sources through the grid. Use-of-system, balancing and reconciliation, all papered.
Week 6–9
- 04
Ongoing Optimisation
Monthly reconciliation. Quarterly review. We renegotiate when the market moves — you keep the upside.
Continuous
ppas & wheeling
Long-term price certainty starts with the right structure.
We paper Power Purchase Agreements that lock in competitive pricing for 10–20 years — fixed, indexed, or blended — and use the Eskom and municipal grids as your wire to bring renewable energy from anywhere in South Africa straight to your meter.
- Lock in competitive long-term pricing
- Renewable supply, no upfront capex
- Insulated from grid tariff hikes
- Outage-resilient blended supply

What heads of operations say, six months in.
"They re-papered our supply across two IPPs and a wheeled solar leg. By month four our blended R/kWh dropped from 2.41 to 1.62 — and the contract sits on a hedge, not a hope."
Lethabo Mkhize
Group Energy Manager, Saldanha Cold Storage Holdings
"The Ahtis desk understood our load shape better than our own engineers. They moved 38% of consumption off-peak and structured a 15-year fixed PPA inside seven weeks."
