Tuesday, August 18, 2020

As we head through 2020 and New Zealander begin to feel the impact of Covid-19 on the economy and their home, many Kiwis are worried about paying their power bill.

The good news is that Power is classified as an essential service. That means that you can switch to a different plan or different provider, even during Lockdown.

What should I do if I am worried about paying my power bill?

A key first step is to reach out to your power provider to discuss your situation and ask for assistance if you need it. Your provider should discuss flexible payment options, and make sure you are on the right plan.

Cameron Burrow, Electricity Retailers Association CEO, encouraged anyone who is concerned about paying their bill to reach out to their power company. The Association represents power retailers like Contact, Genesis, and Mercury Energy. Burrows reassured Kiwis that the association don’t want to see anyone falling into debt or choosing not to heat their homes because they can’t pay their bill.
