Orange Polska, telecommunication company, becomes new electricity provider
Orange Polska decided to become new electricity
provider, after getting positive results of the pilot test of the service.
Orange Polska has been, so far, providing only
telecommunication services such as Internet, phones and television.
Offer prepared by Orange Polska will be dedicated to
the individual households, as well as small enterprises.
Purchase of electricity by Orange Poland, for the
purpose of resale to end users and compulsory purchase of property rights from
certificates of origin of electricity, will take place through a wholesale partner,
the company called “Polenergia”. Orange Polska’s margin will be calculated as a
difference between the cost of electricity purchase and the resale price.
In order to have distribution channels, Orange Polska
has entered into general distribution agreements with five operators of
electricity distribution system, ie. RWE Stoen Operator, Energa-Operator,
Operator Enea, Tauron and PGE Distribution Distribution.
According to the information available at the
website, customers who decide to change electricity provider can save up on
their electricity bill quite significantly.
If one decided to change the electricity provider,
Orange Polska offers “Welcome Package” which is one-time discount for the bill
( which varies form 50 zloty to 150 zloty, depending on the total consumption
of electricity during previous year; the bigger the consumption – the bigger
the discount) and then, given accordingly, monthly discount. For the family
living in the house, the discount can be equal to 150 zl (Welcome Package) + 15
zl/month, saving the family 330 zl a year (approx.. 80 euro) just thanks to the
discount. The prices of reselling should also be pretty competitive, in
comparison to current prices offered by main Polish electricity providers.
What is distinguishing Orange Polska as electricity
provider from other providers, already operating on the market, is
revolutionary system of billing. Currently, there are officers who are noting
down the state of odometer reading, based on what bills are being calculated (
alternatively, the customer is obliged to provide the company with the
numbers). Orange Polska proposes absolutely new solution. The customer decides
when there is a good time to pursue the payment; one needs to call the
toll-free number or log on to the website and enter the current odometer
reading. Orange, on the basis of the reading, will issue an invoice for
electricity. This is what is said on the promotional sub-site of
the website.
We have taken a look at the conditions of the service
and it does not specify how the company will be able to distinguish customers
who are unreliable from those, who are choosing comfortable method of payment
in the time most convenient for them. From the agreement, it seems that the
rules do not differ from what is already on the market. We will talk to one
of the representatives of Orange Polska and update this information as soon as
possible.
What Orange Polska also offers is prepayment metering
and billing system for providing/receiving electricity, not commonly used on
the Polish market. Having an example of the UK, where most of the rental houses
have such system in place, it can be a good solutions for the property owners
wishing to rent their place, but not willing to change the names on the already
registered meter.
