Sosimple Energy has officially launched South Africa’s first 5-Year Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), offering a groundbreaking solution for C&I businesses. This new model allows companies to cut energy costs immediately—with zero upfront investment whilst remaining flexible.

With electricity tariffs rising at an average of 12.74% annually and grid reliability continuing to decline, South African businesses are under increasing operational and financial strain. Diesel generators, once a backup, have become a costly necessity.

“We’ve heard from businesses across the country. They can’t commit to 20-year solar agreements. They can’t divert capital from their core operations. They need immediate relief—but also flexibility,” said Liana Braxton, Managing Director of Sosimple Energy.

“That’s why we created Sosimple Sprint—a short and sweet solution that delivers real savings without the long-term lock-in.”

Sosimple Sprint: A First-of-Its-Kind Solar Solution

The 5-Year PPA is designed to address these exact pressures:

  • No upfront investment required
  • Daytime solar energy at tariffs lower than Eskom
  • Short, clear 5-year commitment—not 20

Sosimple Energy will fund, install, insure, and operate the solar systems, allowing businesses to benefit from guaranteed savings from day one.

This model is aimed at commercial and industrial operations across sectors. There used to be a choice between lower energy costs which came with long term commitments versus flexibility. Your business needs both.
