Solar power buyback
I have recently installed solar and have been looking at the retailer options.
What I find really unfair is the price the retailer buys your export energy for.
For example mercury who I am currently with pay 8.5 cents per kilowatt hour and charge me 29 cents per kilowatt hour.
Looks like a better option is meridian who offers 17 cents per kilowatt hours buyback and 30 cents per kilowatt hour charge but you have to sign 3 year contract.
I heard that the electricity authority has made some changes regarding the buyback rate but this will only come into effect June 2026.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
