Not sure if this counts as a deal but people might find this useful in saving some money:
Billy (billy.govt.nz) is a free, impartial power‑comparison and switching website run by the Electricity Authority. It lists all participating NZ electricity retailers, renewable‑energy options, and plan details so you can compare prices and contracts in one place. Billy is designed to help you find a better deal and switch easily, without paying a middleman or subscription fee.
Anyone got any feedback regarding supa.energy?
Supa and Mercury are shown as the cheapest in my area. Powershop doesn’t appear to be listed as a retailer (likely because it’s difficult to compare).
i have gas so mercury has been the best for the last decade. if you know the price per kw, you can ask a retailer if they can beat it.
Nothing is cheaper currently for me. Everything is atleast $25+ higher than what I am paying with Genesis.
Good timing, thanks for sharing!
Sadly it shows no saving on every option - no matter how I cut it. Individually or bundling or whatever. That's depressing.
Upload a bill or estimate your power usage. Why can't I just put in how many KW/hr a month I use.
I agree it's annoying, though looks like you can enter that info.
Once you submit your address etc. and it shows you the companies, there's a button by your address info to "Add Usage".
if you go through the "estimate my power use" path, it has a button under your ICP details for "add usage". You can enter your usage in kWh over a custom period.
Generally speaking, usually always cheaper to chop and change utility providers every contract term.
Electricity and telco
This is because companies have much more budget for new customers as opposed to retention
Cool now can someone do one for car insurance please??
Am I restarted when looking at these price comparison websites, because I always get recommended electric Kiwi, but when I go to octopus energys website itself, it always has a cheaper price rate. These websites push octopus way down the list, yet going on the websites and checking them out themselves, it doesn't look cheaper unless I play their gimmicks (eg powershop).
I've never heard of Supa but seems to be the cheapest in my area (Wellington).
I got the same with Mercury being the 2nd best.
I won't be swapping to Supa, looks kinda dodgy.
I would like to see it provide solar buy back rates as well. I don't have solar at the moment but considering it so being able to compare buy back rates would be beneficial.
Their FAQ says "Billy works for solar power if your connection details show your property is able to generate solar. Solar power will be included in your estimates whether you upload a bill or enter your details manually."
Not very helpful if the ICP is not configured for solar yet!
Always worth checking around, I got an amazing deal a few years back from Powerswitch.
