OUR OFFERINGS
Energy Trading
Current’s business model is designed to harness technology-enabled electricity trading to expand access to clean energy, improve market efficiency, and provide transparent, auditable procurement solutions for South African consumers. At its core, the platform integrates generation, trading, metering, and reconciliation into a unified framework capable of scaling nationally.
Utility Solutions Platform
The PPEX software platform is a proven, scalable utility management and revenue recovery system designed to eliminate ghost vending, improve municipal cash flows, and enable tokenised energy trading via trusted, STS-based protocols, ensuring verifiable, secure, and policy-compliant renewable energy sales with autonomous priority recovery capabilities.
Funded Meter Solution
Current provides off balance sheet securitised energy financing solutions to municipalities and body corporates for the installation of prepaid smart electricity meters to improve revenue collection. The PPEX platform automatically ring-fences payments from prepaid vending, prioritises settlement of Eskom accounts, infrastructure finance repayments, vending commissions, and historic debts if necessary and provides full transparency and an auditable trail.
Rooftop Solar
Current offers South African homeowners an innovative pre-paid energy-as-a-service model that provides all the benefits of a full hybrid solar system without the significant upfront investment or maintenance hassles typically associated with solar installations. Customers enter into a PPA and purchase pre-paid electricity tokens that enable the delivery of the energy from the rooftop solar system to your household.
