The companies say there will be no disruption in service and customers can continue to enjoy the same quality and reliability of electricity supply. As part of this joint operation, StarHub and Sunseap are collaborating on various fronts which include customer service, billing and sales. Both companies are exploring opportunities in smart energy and Internet of Things solutions to bring continued benefits to customers.
“Working together with Sunseap, we are excited to offer households a compelling way to live a lower carbon footprint lifestyle using the Sun’s energy. Leveraging each other’s expertise, we will bundle essential services from mobile, pay TV, broadband and electricity in attractive packages for customers, who are becoming more environmentally-aware;” said Howie Lau, Chief Marketing Officer, StarHub.
StarHub has said 5 percent of its profits out of this business in the first three years will be channeled into the StarHub Clean Energy Fund. The fund will be used to drive environmental conservation initiatives including clean energy and efficiencies.
Frank Phuan, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Sunseap Group, said, “We are pleased to be in a joint operation with StarHub to help residents in Singapore go green. This will make it easy for both existing and potential StarHub customers to switch to solar energy without any break in their regular electricity service.”
Starting next month, StarHub and Sunseap will offer customers a choice of two clean energy subscription plans named Green Life and Green Save. The first plan named Green Life is a 100% clean energy plan tailored to meet the needs of environmentally conscious customers. Customers on the Green Life plan will receive electricity fully produced by Sunseap’s solar systems at no additional cost. Electricity will be charged at the usual regulated electricity tariff.
The second plan, Green Save, allows customers to take a step towards becoming more environmently-friendly while enjoying some savings. With this plan, customers will receive 5 percent clean energy and enjoy 20 percent discount off the regulated tariff.
