How Etana Ensures Forward Electricity Price Certainty for Our Customers

We offer customers forward price certainty through a tariff linked to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Businesses operating in South Africa no longer have to contend with fast-rising above-inflation electricity tariffs - Etana’s pricing model allows companies to lock in a large percentage of electricity rates for up to 20 years.  

In today’s environment, it’s difficult for businesses to know how much they will be paying for electricity in the years ahead. For industries like mining, manufacturing, and steel production, managing electricity expenses and having long-term certainty is essential for financial stability and competitiveness.   

Electricity tariffs have increased by well above the inflation rate for the past 15 years. This presents a challenge for businesses who need to plan their budgets and manage long-term costs, especially when their operations require electricity around the clock.  

Etana offers a solution designed to meet these challenges. Through our Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), we provide a single electricity price with long-term certainty. Our tariff adjusts with the Consumer Price Index each year, allowing businesses to lock in inflation-linked pricing over the duration of the PPA, whether that’s 5, 10, 15, or even 20 years.   

We deliver electricity from both solar and wind farms, covering up to 70% of your electricity needs with renewable, including peak periods outside of solar generation hours. This way, you can maximise your savings and achieve higher decarbonisation levels. 

For businesses prioritising sustainability, financial predictability, and cost savings, Etana is the ideal partner.
