Kogan Energy News

The Meridian Energy Ltd (ASX: MEZ) share price is also down over 2% as its subsidiary, Powershop Australia, has entered into a multi-year agreement with Kogan.com to offer competitive power and gas services under Kogan Energy.

Powershop will supply the energy and retail services to Kogan Energy customers and Kogan is responsible for all sales and marketing activity.

Kogan Energy is expected to launch before the end of December 2019 and will aim to make energy services more affordable through digital efficiency. Details of the offer will be released in the coming months.

Meridian Energy Australia and Powershop Australia CEO Ed McManus said: “We generate some of the cleanest and greenest energy in Australia.

“Together with Kogan, we believe we can make a real difference to the energy space by delivering simple, great value, energy offerings through Kogan Energy.”

Is Kogan A Buy?

Kogan is an odd one to think about. It offers lots of services through a low-cost operating model of the internet. On the one hand you could say this is a very appealing business model, but you could also say that it is trying to put its fingers in too many pies and therefore not win in any industry.

With competitors like Amazon in the online retail space, Kogan faces a tough challenge to be a major competitor for the long term. It may very well be successful, but it’s not a bet I would want to make.

I’d much rather consider the growth shares in the free report below for my portfolio.
