Day-ahead clearing

Hour 02 · 2026-05-29

Illustrative clearing — production MMS would use a SCED-class optimiser.

Why this price?

In hour 02, the SMP cleared at R850.02 / MWh. The marginal offer was Eskom Holdings — coal fleet (Generator)'s — the last unit of generation needed to meet demand. By uniform-price rule, every accepted seller was paid R850.02 / MWh for their share of the 22000 MWh cleared this hour.

See the in-browser verifier to confirm the SMP from the receipt's canonical inputs.

Audit chain · stage 1 of 4

Commit this DAM clear to the append-only SHA-256 chain (dam_cleared event). Best-effort: with no D1 binding bound locally this degrades to a "not recorded" marker rather than failing.
