Contact Energy fixed term electricity plan?

KiwiHunts4CheapDeals on 09/02/2026 - 17:15

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone are still on a fixed term plan with Contact or have recently signed up one?

I checked their website, all I can find is flexible open term plans. Reason I want a fixed term plan is to lock in the daily rate before it increases to $1.80 in April. Last year I was able to lock in with Mercury before April and was able to get 1.20 daily rate locked in (Mercury have since changed their fixed term t&c, there is no more lock in rate even if one signs up for a fixed term plan)

I'm keen to know if anyone is with Contact and on fixed term locked in rate.

    Curious which power companies have a daily rate that low, ours is $1.725 before it goes up in April, we are with powershop, but contact is the same for the daily rate.

      Actually not as low as you think. Mine is 1.20 and yours is 1.50 both before GST.

      I didn't want to have the 30cents increment so I signed up a locked in rate before the increment in April last year.

      So if you want to retain the 1.50 daily rate then need to find a plan that provides fixed term locked in rate before April. Mercury has changed their TnC, so no more fixed rate.

        Am in a similar situation with Mercury increasing their prices for the low user daily rate and per kWh from 5th March. Below is for a Wellington address excl GST:

        Charge type Current Prices New Prices
        Daily Fixed Charge ($/day) $1.2000 $1.5000
        Inclusive ($/kWh) $0.2249 $0.2538
