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.

The tenant electricity tariff is property-specific. Only residents of a residential building in which SWG has implemented a tenant electricity scheme are eligible to benefit.
If the solar PV system does not fully cover the building’s current electricity demand, tenants on the ‘Mieterstrom’ scheme receive 100 per cent of their electricity from renewable sources via the grid.

That’s no problem: taking into account the terms of your current contracts and notice periods, you can sign up for our tenant electricity tariff and we’ll take care of the rest.
Meter readings for tenant electricity meters are taken on 31 December of each year. You do not need to provide SWG with your meter readings. You will then receive your periodic bill at the start of the following year.
