Hour 23 · 2026-05-29
Illustrative clearing — production MMS would use a SCED-class optimiser.
demand side · Phase 1 This hour clears against an exogenous system-load forecast (the dashed green demand line below), not a buyer bid-stack vs supply-stack intersection. Buyer bids are price-taking (illustrative) in Phase 1: they fix each buyer's scheduled volume but do not set the SMP. Bid-driven demand clearing is on the roadmap.
In hour 23, the SMP cleared at R857.23 / 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 R857.23 / MWh for their share of the 26000 MWh cleared this hour.
See the in-browser verifier to confirm the SMP from the receipt's canonical inputs.
Supply curve · demand intersection
The supply curve (terracotta) is cumulative MWh on the x-axis, offer price on the y-axis. The dashed green line is hourly demand. Where they cross is the SMP.
