The Virtual Wheeling Platform (VWP) is a digital energy settlement solution developed by Mezzanine, a Vodacom company, that enables corporates, municipalities, and energy traders to procure electricity from Independent Power Producers (IPPs) — virtually.
Unlike traditional wheeling, which requires a direct physical connection between generation and consumption sites, virtual wheeling uses smart meter data and automated reconciliation to match energy usage with generation across multiple locations. It supports both Eskom and municipal networks, offering real-time visibility, simplified settlements, and scalable access to clean energy — without changing existing energy supply agreements.
