Hour 19 · 2026-05-29
Illustrative clearing — production MMS would use a SCED-class optimiser.
In hour 19, the SMP cleared at R2219.54 / MWh. The marginal offer was Eskom Holdings — OCGT peaker (Generator)'s — the last unit of generation needed to meet demand. By uniform-price rule, every accepted seller was paid R2219.54 / MWh for their share of the 31994 MWh cleared this hour.
See the in-browser verifier to confirm the SMP from the receipt's canonical inputs.
