Electric Kiwi

Electric Kiwi is an independent power and broadband company on a mission to make it better.

With Electric Kiwi you get an hour of free off-peak power every day on all their plans! You choose 60 minutes of off-peak power that suits your lifestyle, between 9am-5pm and 9pm-7am. All electricity used during that hour each day is totally free, and you can change your hour as often as you like.

All of Electric Kiwi’s plans use time-of-use pricing, giving their customers access to lower electricity rates during off-peak hours. Shifting energy usage to off-peak times often aligns with periods of higher renewable energy generation so customers can help the environment whilst lowering their power bills. Win-win.

Electric Kiwi don't believe in contracts, break fees or sneaky notice periods - which means it’s their job to keep you happy with low prices and awesome service.

And now your favourite independent power company offers Broadband too! They charge for broadband by the day, so there’s no way they’ll end up slugging you an extra month’s bill when you need to leave. Seems fair because it is. You can buy, rent or bring your own modem, the choice is yours. You just need fibre internet available at your place. T&C’s apply.

What are you waiting for? It only takes minutes to join online. Just leave a few details here and let Electric Kiwi take care of the rest. Including breaking up with your old power company!

Great company providing an important challenge to the big Gentailers - helping create a fairer electricity market for us all.

Their prices are reasonable and I generally find the app easy to use.
Pros
Responsive and accessible customer service. Hour of power is great savings if you plan
Cons
If you forget to set the hour of power it can really sting you - there is no way to set a push notification in the app to remind you in the evening.

Was with Electric Kiwi for 2.5 years but they don't buy back solar power so with the installation of our solar panels next week we have to change providers. They've been great apart from that, although it looks like our new provider is going to be cheaper, so I think that with recent price increases Electric Kiwi may have lost some of their competitive edge - they were pretty much much cheapest when we first signed up.
Never had any issues with the connection and never had to use customer service. ...read more
Pros
App has great breakdown of usage, hourly, weekly, etc. Free off peak hour every day
Cons
No solar buyback
