City Energy's store showcases features of green smart home

A Wi-Fi-controlled water heater, a gas hob that can be turned on and off via an app, and an electric vehicle charging station are some of the high-tech offerings available at a new store in Plaza Singapura.

Called Life by City Energy, it lets customers experience what it is like to live in a green smart home.

Such homes feature smart technology that helps limit energy expenditure and cut down on the use of fossil fuels.

With the official opening of its store on Tuesday, national gas utility City Energy took another step towards its transformation from a public utility into a green and smart energy solutions provider.

The goal is to help build smart, low-carbon homes and offices for the future for both retail customers and businesses, to make life more convenient and to keep utility bills down, said City Energy.
