Direct Energy Expands Offering That Includes Donation of Inflatable, Solar Light
October 11,2016
Direct Energy has expanded the availability of its Give Brighter electricity and natural gas plans nationally
The Give Brighter fixed plans leverage a partnership with MPOWERD, the company behind Luci light, a solar inflatable light, to provide lighting to those who live without electricity.
Each time a customer signs up for a new energy plan, they will receive an inflatable, solar Luci light, and one will be donated on their behalf to someone who lives without electricity.
The Give Brighter plan has been available to Texas electricity customers since June. Within the first three months of the product launch, more than 2,000 lights have been sent to MPOWERD's partners, Direct Energy said
These lights will go to school children in Malawi, families in South America, and women entrepreneurs in South Sudan.
Luci lights use solar power and can brighten a room for up to 18 hours after charging in the sun for 8 hours, Direct Energy said.
The Give Brighter plan is available to residents in New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and Washington, D.C. See www.directenergy.com/givebrighter for more
