Vocus Group consumer general manager Taryn Hamilton said it was a "no brainer" for Orcon to offer customers electricity after the success its sister company Slingshot had seen in the power market.
Telco company Vocus Group is venturing deeper into the electricity market with its high-end provider Orcon joining sister brand Slingshot in selling power.
Vocus Group today announced the launch of Orcon Power, which it said would offer competitive rates, a 10 per cent prompt payment discount, and a $150 sign
up credit.
The group's consumer general manager, Taryn Hamilton, said it was a "no brainer" for Orcon to start selling power after the success Slingshot had seen since it did the same earlier this year.
Vocus, which also owns Flip and 2talk, purchased small power company Switch Utilities in December last year, wanting the ability to offer customers internet and energy on the same bill.
Its first gamble of offering electricity through Slingshot appears to have paid off, with the Electricity Authority finding it has been the country's fastest-growing power company since its launch.
