Sunseap – which has been operating in Singapore for over 30 years – harvests its solar energy via its rooftop solar systems across more than 1,000 buildings in Singapore, including public housing estates as well as commercial and industrial buildings. This is unlike other markets where green energy has become more efficient and cheaper. The higher price for the green option reflects the higher costs of generating, storing and delivering the electricity using sustainable methods in Singapore. There’s a reason for that, observes TechGoondu: That essentially means going full-solar is the more expensive option. With this plan, customers will receive 5% clean energy and enjoy 20% discount off the regulated tariff. The second plan, Green Save, allows customers to take a step towards becoming more environment-friendly while enjoying some savings. Electricity will be charged at the usual regulated electricity tariff. Customers on the Green Life plan will receive electricity fully produced by Sunseap’s solar systems at no additional cost.
The first plan named Green Life is a 100% clean energy plan tailored to meet the needs of environmentally conscious customers. StarHub and Sunseap will offer two clean energy subscription plans (from the press release): Both companies said they are also exploring opportunities in smart energy and IoT solutions. StarHub and Sunseap are collaborating on customer service, billing and sales. “We will bundle essential services from mobile, pay TV, broadband and electricity in attractive packages for customers, who are becoming more environmentally-aware,” Lau said. StarHub and Sunseap plan to offer a solar-powered “clean energy” service to residents in Jurong starting in April as part of StarHub’s service bundle, said StarHub’s chief marketing officer Howie Lau. Under the scheme, consumers can buy electricity services from any electricity retailers according to their usage patterns and prices offered, and can switch at any time with no interruption in service. StarHub and Sunseap have formed a joint operation to enter Singapore’s Open Electricity Market scheme, under which the Energy Market Authority intends to fully liberalize the retail electricity market in the second half of this year, starting with a soft launch in Jurong. On Monday, Singaporean telco StarHub did just that by partnering with local sustainable energy firm Sunseap. ITEM: Earlier this month, Morgan Stanley issued a research note suggesting that telcos should be looking at the energy sector as a new opportunity by bundling electricity services.
