Spotlight on Electric Kiwi

In these uncertain time, we are hearing worries from Power Compare customers about managing their power bill and how to reduce their spending on home utilities in these uncertain times.

We reckon at times like these Kiwis need a Power Company with a difference – that’s why we wanted to put a spotlight on Electric Kiwi.

Much like NZ Compare, Electric Kiwi was started by friends wanted to shake up the status quo and who believe Kiwis should be paying less. They believed that electricity options were unnecessarily complex with multiple discounts, joining specials and one-off deals made power prices hard to understand.

From humble beginnings in December 2014, Electric Kiwi have grown astronomically. There is good reason they have become a fast favourite for power customers who want to make an informed choice about power.

Here’s what we love Electric Kiwi

Electric Kiwi’s free hour of power has been a real game changer. Electric Kiwi customers get a free off-peak hour of power every day. Just choose your hour and all the electricity you use during that hour is free.

And, if you’re strategic about how you use your free hour of power it can add up to great savings. It’s a great option for people who are looking for extra savings on their power bill right now, or who may be worried about losing their prompt payment discount.
