Electricity pricing

Our prices from 1 April 2025

Our charges differ depending on the region you live in. This reflects things like the varying levels of investment needed, and the number of customers we serve in that area.

Our prices are regulated to ensure they’re fair

We’re regulated by the Commerce Commission to ensure we provide reliable electricity supply at a fair price to you. 

As part of this, the Commerce Commission sets the amount of revenue we get from our customers in the form of charges once every five years. 

The latest reset determines our revenue for 1 April 2025 – 31 March 2030. 

The last time our revenue was reset was in 2019. 

Since 2019 factors like inflation, interest rates and rising prices have all contributed to higher costs. Customer demand for electricity is also growing - as customers switch away from fossil fuels and towards EVs for instance. That means we need more investment to meet demand. 

That’s why the Commerce Commission has allowed lines companies to increase their revenue in the latest reset. (The total revenue increase will be made gradually over the next five years, through our annual price changes). 

You can find out more about the Commission’s decision on its website.

Increase in low-fixed user charges for residential customers

This year we’re continuing to phase out low-fixed charges in line with the removal of low-fixed charge regulations.

That means your low-fixed charge (if you’re on one) will go up, as we progressively bring it into line with standard daily fixed charges over the five years ending 2027.

Once complete, all of our residential customers will have the same daily fixed charge. That daily fixed charge rate depends on the region you live in. You can find your daily fixed charge rate in our pricing tables below.

To find out whether you are on a low-fixed charge you’ll need to contact your retailer (the company you pay your power bill to).
