What's happening to the Low User Daily Charge?

A Government-commissioned review of the electricity industry has encouraged changes to the plans power companies offer, with a view to make things fairer for all Kiwis. As a result, the low-user daily charge is being phased out for all energy retailers, gradually increasing each year until 2027. Our low user daily charge has moved from 60c/day to 90c/day effective 01 July 2024. Find out more at www.mbie.govt.nz

​Why are the Low and Standard User Plan rates the same for my address?

Following changes to the Low User Daily Charge, in some regions our Low and Standard Plan rates are now very similar. To make things simple we've merged them - meaning there's now just one residential plan on offer to you. The good news is that you can relax knowing that you’re always on the best pricing for your usage each month.
