Inspired by @Wakrak post here thought I'd start a new thread for us to discuss power deals
I'm aware power companies charges a different rates depending where you live
Feel free to share any power deals that you come across below!

I was with them a year ago when they had the Four Free plan. They promoted this "Smart Hot Water" thing via email. I didn't take the offer because I wanted to run the cylinder during free hours. With Smart Hot Water enabled, they'd run your cylinder anytime from their end. I doubt that the $10 compensation would be enough to cover the extra cost.

My post here about EcoSmart.
https://www.cheapies.nz/node/56879We have saved about $100 last month and could save more if we shifted our power usage to the cheaper times of the day.
I haven't automated turning off hot water cylinders yet but will in the future.

Did anyone else on Meridian just get added to the Smart Hot Water plan? I was automatically added today and now get an extra $10 off a month (I presume on top of the $10 off a month I already get).
