Characteristics of ENECHANGE partners

Partners of ENECHANGE, the electricity and gas comparison website for households, are actively pursuing partnerships with real estate companies specialized in relocation..

Voices from ENECHANGE Partners

≪For Households≫
Comments from a real estate company business planner

We are able to provide updated information so that we can always propose the most economical electric power companies to our tenants, and when we receive inquiries from tenants about the electric power companies we have introduced, ENECHANGE responds to them, so we can make proposals to our customers with peace of mind, even if we do not have in-depth knowledge. In terms of operations, we are able to perform on-site work. From an operational standpoint, we can also get maximum cooperation in efforts to reduce the workload at the site, which makes it easy to introduce energy companies as an ENECHANGE partner as a value-added service.

≪For Companies≫
Comments from a Branch Sales Representative at a Financial Institution

One of the management issues common to many of our clients is fixed costs. It is very helpful for us to reduce the burden on our branch sales staff with heavy workloads by being able to entrust the task of reducing electricity bills, which account for a large portion of the total cost, to ENECHANGE, through which we can compare multiple companies at once. Recently, there has been a growing interest in ESG private placement bonds for decarbonization, and I think it will become even more important for us to collaborate with financial institutions to provide support in terms of implementation, such as the specific introduction of renewable energy, in addition to financial support, which is their core business.

Comments from a tax accountant

In addition to being able to compare prices with other companies, the quotation is easy to understand, and ENECHANGE provides timely and appropriate follow-up, so we are able to have meetings with customers without hassle. Customers are very pleased with our proposal because they can save money and the procedures required for switching are not cumbersome. We would like to continue to implement as many of these customer-friendly electricity switching proposals as possible in the future.
