Can you save money on power by switching to another provider?

Lenka Caslavska from Citizens Advice Bureau Nelson Tasman

💡🔌According to research from Consumer NZ, the average household can save up to $500 a year by switching energy providers.
You can look at the deals offered by other providers servicing your area, to see if they could save you money on your power bills.
There are several businesses that offer comparison tools or services that allow you to compare your power bill against what other companies charge for the same types of plans.
Using information from a recent power bill will give you a more accurate comparison and idea of how much you might save.
It is worth using more than one comparison tool, because some do not include all the smaller energy providers.
For links to the comparison tools and services, and for more information about switching energy providers, visit cab.org.nz/article/KB00000083
