SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 16 July 2024 – Senoko Energy, a committed sustainable energy solutions provider to help Singapore reach our Net Zero goals, announces the launch of its 'National Singlet Month' campaign, celebrating individuals keeping cool through the quintessential Singaporean behaviour of singlet wearing amid the hot weather. This initiative marks the first phase of Senoko's larger 'Thank You' campaign, aimed to spotlight everyday individuals saving energy in their own ways. It is also a part of Senoko's overall brand purpose to support environmental sustainability and promote energy-efficient practices among its customers.
Senoko Energy Launches Movement to Celebrate Everyday Energy Savers with National Singlet Month Campaign
Through a series of activities, including a month-long social media contest, short film and influencer engagement, the campaign aims to cultivate appreciation for daily local habits that reduce energy consumption while kicking off a wider movement among Singaporeans to do their part in saving energy for a greener future. To further the benefits, Senoko has also pledged up to S$50,000 worth of customers' energy savings to TOUCH Community Services, encouraging customers to do good for the environment and directly contribute to empowering disadvantaged Singaporeans.
Rallying Singaporeans to keep cool creatively
Amid global warming, Singapore alongside the rest of the world is facing record temperatures[1]. In response, individuals are keeping cool by turning up the air-conditioning[2], with it accounting for 24% of an average household's electricity consumption[3].
Against this backdrop, Senoko's National Singlet Month campaign recognises Singaporeans who choose singlets as a way to stay cool amid the country's tropical heat, transforming everyday fashion into a statement of energy conservation. This initiative is one of Senoko's multiple ongoing sustainability efforts including its SolarShare 2.0 – Singapore's first commercially available peer-to-peer grid scale trading platform for solar energy – and its Memorandum of Understanding with City Energy to explore import of hydrogen power. These comprehensive efforts on various business fronts underscore Senoko's commitment to advancing Singapore's journey towards a net zero.
"With the National Singlet Month campaign, we are not only encouraging Singaporeans to reduce their energy consumption. It is a wider movement to recognise the current ways in which Singaporeans are already conserving energy and to encourage them to continue championing such behaviours," said Frederik Baerts, CEO of Senoko Energy.
"As we explore renewable energy solutions such as hydrogen and green electricity imports, we recognise that energy conservation plays a crucial role in our overall sustainability push. Through creative community engagement and strategic partnerships, we aim to make a significant impact on our environmental responsibilities and community commitments," Mr Baerts adds.
From 16 July 2024 to 15 August 2024, participants will be able to submit images or videos of themselves wearing their favourite singlets at home or anywhere on the go together with an energy saving tip on Facebook or Instagram[1], and stand a chance to win a 6-day ecotourism experience trip for two[2] to the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns, Australia. In line with the brand's sustainability focus, Senoko will be paying to offset the carbon footprint of the flights. In addition to the grand prize, up to 200 twin sets of limited-edition Senoko Energy singlets are also up for grabs on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Doing good for both the environment and community
Underlining Senoko's commitment to driving change and creating a positive impact on communities, the brand also partnered with TOUCH Community Services in a first-of-its- kind initiative to match customers' energy savings dollar for dollar and donating it in support of TOUCH's initiatives to uplift the disadvantaged in the society.
Customers' household energy usage will be monitored through six bi-monthly checks from 1 Aug 2024 to 31 Jul 2025[1] with the total savings channelled to TOUCH Community Services Aspire Fund that serves to improve living conditions of low-income families. Up to S$50,000 will be donated at the end of the 12-month period.
The campaign will also feature a short film on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram, and collaborations with Mothership and social media influencers Xiao Ming (@sgagxiaoming) and Jayne (@jaynejetplane) to propel this movement among their audiences. On top of the 'Singlet Wearers', the campaign will spotlight other personas in later phases who advocate for energy-saving practices at home. Phase two of the campaign is scheduled to launch in 2025.
Senoko has been at the forefront of powering the nation's growth since its inception. As one of the largest power plants in Singapore, the group is committed to delivering safe, innovative, and sustainable energy solutions. Senoko dedicates themselves to powering Singapore's journey towards carbon neutrality and supporting the nation's environmental goals.
