Tenant electricity: My home - my electricity
Information for residents
As a resident, you can benefit from the electricity generated by the PV system on the roof of your residential building.
When residents of an apartment block can use the electricity generated by the building's own PV system directly, draw additional clean green electricity from the grid and save money in the process, we call this tenant electricity.
You can benefit from this offer: Around the clock, at a discounted price, regardless of whether the sun is shining or not.
