Recommended power (electricity) providers

Just managed to secure a place in Mosgiel.
Wondering what people recommend for power companies?
Our real estate agent told us contact is one of the better ones
A quick search has shown Meridian offers $200 off the first bill - is that worth it? Or does that all get chewn up sooner than you think?
We are 2 adults and I reckon we would be low power users.

Thanks.

  • We will be looking soon (moving into our new place early March). If you don't lock into a term, it's easy to change providers in NZ.

  • Thanks mate!
    Our place in Mosgiel isn't showing up on Power switch, but Power shop is showing up to be the cheapest out of Contact and Meridian. I think we might start with them to begin with.
    On another subject, any thoughts on MyRepublic as a broadband provider?

    Thanks!

    • They were terrible in Australia, but that related to NBN issues. Not sure what they're like in NZ, I had heard reasonable things.

  • flick electric

  • Check out the Energy Club-i compared and found they offer very good low-user deals at great rates.

    Just ask the companies what their daily charge is and what per kw charge is gst inclusive.
    (I am with Pulse here in Dunedin) but I got a really good deal door-to-door which can't be beaten)!

  • Hi,

    Have a look at:

    Allows you to 'auction' your power usage - no cost to you, and you can choose to accept or decline any offer.
