Find, Score, and Diligence Your Next SADC Energy Asset

Take a candidate site from map discovery to a cited feasibility report — production, grid, regulatory, and financial scoring pulled from SAPP, Eskom, NERSA, and NASA POWER — before you commit development capital.

What You Get

Spot the Deal-Killers Financial Models Miss

Energy projects rarely fail on financial modeling — they fail on grid delays, tariff redeterminations, and permitting gaps buried in local gazettes. Zorora surfaces these risks before you deploy capital.

Deep Research

Cited Reports, Not Chat Answers

Get structured research reports with inline citations, revenue projections, and source conflict analysis — backed by Nehanda v3, an AI trained to refuse fabrication.

  • 100% Traceable: Inline citations linked directly to government gazettes and market feeds
  • Conflict Detection: Flags when two regulatory or market sources disagree
  • Nehanda v3 Engine: 27B model trained on 490+ energy policy documents for zero-hallucination synthesis
  • Follow-up questions grounded in the same source material

Scouting

From Candidate Site to Feasibility Report

Move a site through a 5-stage pipeline — identified, scored, feasibility, diligence, decision — without leaving Zorora. Greenfield and BESS candidates are scored on NASA POWER resource data, grid proximity, DAM arbitrage spreads, and TOU tariff differentials, then handed off to an automated feasibility study.

  • Kanban pipeline tracks every site from discovery to decision
  • Automated feasibility studies across production, trading, grid, regulatory, and financial dimensions
  • LLM-synthesized conclusions with risk assessments and confidence ratings
  • Brownfield diligence and greenfield/BESS scoring in one workflow

Why Zorora

Financial Models Don't Show Why Energy Projects Fail

Grid connection delays, municipal tariff disputes, and permitting gaps live in government gazettes and local news feeds—not spreadsheets. Zorora connects these scarce records into cited intelligence so investment teams can derisk deals in minutes, not weeks.

Project
Failure
Regulatory Tariff redetermination mid-PPA
Grid Connection GCAR delays, capacity allocation
Municipal Billing disputes, DAA gaps
Counterparty O&M accreditation lapse
Environmental Permitting gaps, EIA delays
Political Policy reversal, licensing freeze

None of these risks show up in a financial model. All of them kill projects.

Grounded Intelligence

Every Score Traces Back to a Source Document

Nehanda v3, Zorora's synthesis engine, only makes a claim — on a tariff, a resource estimate, a grid constraint — if it's anchored in the underlying gazette, filing, or feed. When two sources disagree, it flags the conflict instead of guessing. Read the technical whitepaper →
