Problem
Households and small businesses face rising electricity and gas bills while lacking clear guidance on how to reduce consumption, especially when most suppliers offer standard contracts without sustainability incentives.
Solution
iQ‑energie combines competitively priced green energy contracts with a consumption‑reduction service. Customers receive a transparent tariff for electricity generated from solar, wind and biomass, and a step‑by‑step migration process that handles contract termination and new agreement setup. The company then conducts a usage audit and delivers a personalized savings proposal, outlining actionable measures such as smart thermostats, infrared heating panels, solar PV or heat‑pump installations available through its iQ‑store. Ongoing advice and periodic performance reports help users continuously lower their energy draw, driving both cost savings and environmental impact reduction.
Target Audience
The primary customers are residential homeowners and renters, as well as small‑to‑medium enterprises seeking lower utility expenses and a transition to renewable energy sources.
