National Online Vending Service Providers (National Vendors)

Below is a list of Eskom’s prepaid service providers, including their direct online platforms.

In addition to the platforms mentioned above, electricity may also be purchased from the major banks and most petrol service stations, as well as from popular supermarkets like SPAR, Shoprite, Checkers and Pick n Pay.

Functionality provided by the various National Vendors

Note that new National Vendors will only be added as part of a public “Request for Proposal” (RFP) process where prospective vendors will be able to tender. Eskom will review all the tenders and select successful tenders. There are no new tenders envisaged at this time.

Suppliers of Online Vending Clients and related equipment

Although these Vending Clients have been approved for Eskom use, Eskom is not installing these products in the field. The online vending services for Eskom are instead provided by National and Regional Vendors that use their own Eskom approved equipment.

Off-line Vending Systems in Eskom

Eskom has removed all the Off-line Vending equipment since they are not able to support the Incline Step Tariff as mandated by the National Electricity Regulator of South Africa (NERSA)
