Australians will benefit from a groundbreaking partnership delivering an affordable green energy subscription service providing access to solar, battery, and electric vehicle (EV) solutions, which will help people reduce their power bills.
The partnership between Smart, one of Australia’s largest EV novated leasing providers, and smart metering company Intellihub’s new consumer brand, Enreal, allows customers to embrace and optimise renewable energy without the upfront costs.
