Naturgy and the Association of Self-employed Workers of Castile-Leon have signed an agreement to provide members of this federation with a wide offer of energy, services and energy solutions aimed at improving the energy efficiency of self-employed workers.
Under this agreement, Naturgy will advise self-employed workers in the region on energy supply, comfort, energy efficiency, mobility and lighting, giving members special offers with discounts on gas, electricity and services, for their businesses and homes.
Furthermore, it will provide advice on energy solutions to improve efficiency with state-of-the art technology, facilitating the purchase of gas-run vehicles through subsidised rates and fuel discounts.
The agreement was signed earlier today in Valladolid by José Manuel Toral, the Naturgy representative for Castile-Leon, and Soraya Mayo, the President of ATA Castilla y León.
José Manuel Toral said after the signing that “this agreement demonstrates the commitment from Naturgy to offering its products under the best conditions to such an important group as the self-employed, always with support from the latest technology and the best services, in order to help streamline the energy bills for their businesses and vehicles”.
In turn, Soraya Mayo said that “one of our challenges is to encourage an environmentally friendly economy and sustainable employment in our region. To make the most of an unexploited market niche, this entails cutting fixed costs of consumables and stimulating companies’ potential to become actors of change. As the leading association of the self-employed, we know that the fixed costs of almost 200,000 self-employed workers in Castile-Leon for gas, electricity and fuel are the first hurdle to overcome each month. Therefore, an agreement such as this gives us the opportunity to lower concerns and increase competitiveness among self-employed workers”.
