Frontier Communications Connects California Residential Customers to Solar Energy

Frontier offers customers simple, hassle-free way to benefit from solar power

SACRAMENTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Frontier Communications (NYSE:FTR, news, filings), the largest provider of communications services focused on rural America, is offering its California residential customers a simple way to connect with the best solar options for their homes. Frontier is leveraging its partnership with Crius Energy, a comprehensive energy solutions provider whose brands include the newly-launched Citra Solar, to put affordable, clean energy within reach of thousands of qualified customers by offering free installation and free maintenance.

“We are committed to providing cost-effective technology solutions to both homes and businesses across 27 states, so it makes sense to offer cost-effective energy services as well,” said Tressa Bader, Frontier’s Area General Manager for California. “In partnership with Crius Energy, Frontier already offers green energy to our customers in parts of New York, Ohio and Illinois through FTR Energy Services, and now solar power for our California markets. We are excited to connect our California residential customers to this new service and its potential to reduce their energy costs and contribute to a clean and independent energy future.”

The solar market has been growing rapidly in recent years due to greater access to more affordable options such as leasing programs or Power Purchase Agreements and concern about the rising cost of electricity. By pairing Frontier customers with the best solar option for their needs, Citra Solar makes it easy for homeowners to participate in these programs and reap the benefits of solar power. Interested Frontier customers in California may call Frontier at (844) 815-4505 to get connected with a solar advisor.
