Cheaper power through
the line you already have.
Nothing to install, nothing on your site changes. This is wheeling: cheaper power delivered through the same Eskom line you already have. Your lights do not flicker; only the price changes. Savings run up to 58 percent, subject to plant commissioning and the bill-audited case.

How wheeling works
Generated there.
Delivered here.
Wheeling is an established mechanism, not an experiment: energy generated at one point on the network is contractually delivered and set off at another. Foundation-1 offers both routes: traditional wheeling, where a specific generator supplies your meter, and virtual wheeling, where generation is credited against consumption across one or many meters. Agreements run on a minimum 10-year term. Watch 56MW of clean generation travel the existing wires to your meter.
Generated off-site
Clean energy is produced at utility scale away from your operation. No additional construction, roof loading or land take is required on your site.
Wheeled through the grid
The energy travels across the existing network under a wheeling arrangement, traditional or virtual, whichever fits your metering. The wires you already pay for become the delivery mechanism.
Credited at your meter
Delivered energy is set off against your consumption at the meter, displacing utility-priced kilowatt-hours with a lower clean-energy path.
Where Awaken reaches
Beyond the reach
of any roof.
On-site solar is bounded by daylight, roof area and land. Awaken addresses the operating load outside that boundary.
Night and early-morning load
Cold rooms, ventilation and irrigation that run when the sun doesn't.
Load beyond the roof
Consumption that exceeds what on-site solar can physically generate.
Multi-site operations
Sites where an on-site build is impractical but the meter still bleeds.
Process and seasonal peaks
Packing runs, processing shifts and harvest windows on heavy tariffs.
Eden + Awaken
Two pathways.
One full migration.
Eden moves the load your site can generate. Awaken moves the load it cannot. Your migration case resolves which pathway or combination fits your evidence, so neither is oversold.
Eden
Solar and storage on site
Foundation-1 funds, installs and owns the on-site solar and storage. You buy only the energy and can save up to 35%.
Awaken
Wheeled clean energy
Off-site generation delivered through the grid to your meter, with savings of up to 58% subject to the bill-audited case.
Combined
Full-load migration
Eden covers the generable load. Awaken wheels energy to the remainder, with up to 60% combined saving, contracted for qualifying operations and subject to the bill-audited case. One case, one evidence base, one decision.
Wheeling availability and pricing depend on your network position and tariff structure. Both are resolved inside the bill-audited assessment and never assumed.
What it costs you
Nothing, until the switch.
R0 to start. R0 to audit. R0 to design. R0 to build. You pay nothing until your new power is live and the switch has happened. Then you simply pay less.
R0
The audit
We read every line of your bills and show you the savings, free.
R0
The design and build
The infrastructure is funded, engineered and installed at no cost to you.
R0 until live
The switch
You pay nothing end to end until your system is live and the switch happens. Then one thing changes: your bill gets smaller.
