Ostrom and Soly announce strategic partnership

Berlin/ Düsseldorf, April 24, 2023 - Ostrom and Soly have agreed on a strategic partnership to combine their strengths and create synergies. Effective starting April 2023, customers of both companies will reap the benefits of the collaboration.

Through this cooperation, customers can enjoy high-quality products and services at attractive prices from both companies.

About Ostrom

The Berlin-based energy management platform Ostrom makes switching to green electricity affordable and straightforward for households in Germany. Unlike other energy providers with lengthy contracts, Ostrom offers only one flexible monthly tariff, end-to-end English and German support from the website to the live customer chat, and passes on the electricity, which comes from 100 percent renewable energy sources to its customers at the purchase price. Consumers can view their energy consumption and control their tariff in real time using the Ostrom app.
