Giving a voice to small electricity consumers in NZ

Key recommendation to protect most vulnerable consumers continues to languish four years after Electricity Price Review. https://t.co/S0xwcN09cI #consumers #electricityprices

Very disappointing results from the @ElectricityAuth review of Consumer Care Guidelines. Many retailers are failing to protect consumers. Time to make the rules mandatory. https://t.co/fHp5gIyOeU

Check out our first comprehensive survey of how electricity consumers are feeling. Most worry about affordability of power and the resilience of the network to withstand storm events. And that was before the recent big storms! #electricity #consumers

The cost-of-living crisis has forced some New Zealand households to cut back on heating rooms and taking hot showers according to our new survey. And only one in four rate their electricity retailers as providing good value for money. #Power

This morning's grid emergency is another reminder of the need for an energy strategy so New Zealanders can be reassured that in the years ahead their electricity supply will be affordable, reliable and sustainable. https://t.co/iq9LCizqKM

Well done @TranspowerNZ on keeping New Zealanders informed this morning about the latest grid emergency and what they needed to do to help the system cope.

Can you save on your #power bill? For the past three months, the median amount people could save using @consumernz's Powerswitch website has been $385 a year. See https://t.co/5jiJbjJDGV
PowerSwitch is part-funded by the Electricity Authority.
