Period: 2026-05-29 (single demo day, 24 hours). Net cost shown is for THIS day only — the iterate-1 ×30 monthly projection has been removed; full month aggregation requires 28–31 distinct fixture days.

Sign convention — energy, NBC, imbalance: negative (charge). CfD: signed (positive = collected from seller, negative = paid to seller).

demand side · Phase 1 Buyer bids are price-taking (illustrative) in Phase 1: the day-ahead clear runs against an exogenous system-load forecast, so a buyer's awarded volume is its scheduled take, not the output of a buyer bid-stack vs supply-stack intersection. The volume the cap is measured against is genuine; the price is set by the supply stack and the load forecast, not by this party's bid. Bid-driven demand clearing is on the roadmap.

illustrative synthetic outturn The Metered and Dev columns are an illustrative synthetic outturn (a flat 2% under-take before 06:00), modelled here independently of the IDM / balancing forecast-slip residual shown on the shadow-day stages. The two imbalance models are not yet reconciled, so this deviation and the do-nothing IDM bill are not guaranteed to be the same number. Single-source-of-truth fix is on the roadmap.

CfD-vs-SMP for active bilateral PPAs · non-bypassable charges shown as separate prominent lines (Trading Rules R2 §06.2 / §06.3 / §06.4) · imbalance priced via the §07 placeholder formula (illustrative until R2 confirms). Turn the illustrative just-transition line on.

Sample-month roll-up sample month · ×30

Honest projection: the single 24-hour demo day is replayed ×30 with a small deterministic per-day demand/price perturbation (seeded — reproducible, no randomness). This is a sample-month model, NOT a genuine 28–31-day metered fixture; treat the totals as indicative scale, not a billed invoice.

Forecast-slip downside Indicative under-take exposure for this party at ±1%, 2%, 5% deviation is computed from the §07 placeholder formula (max(SMP × 1.15, R2 000/MWh)). Final imbalance formation will be market-based when SAWEM liquidity supports it.

Implied under-delivery penalty: SMP × 1.15 or an R2 000/MWh floor, whichever is higher. The floor binds when the SMP is below R1 739,13/MWh. Illustrative, basis pending NERSA (Trading Rules R2 §07 placeholder).
