Electricity price comparisons

Tony from Inglewood

Another wannabe Powerswitch competitor posting on Neighbourly again today with no way to reply to their post. When are these companies going to learn to include EV ownership and solar generation in their input fields.

When are these companies going to learn to include EV ownership and solar generation in their input fields. Both of these factors make a huge difference to which provider customers are best suited to.

In our case we are a 2 EV household with sufficient PV capacity to charge them both, run our rural home (pumped water & 2x 700L freezers) and other household consumption and still we are in credit for the 4th month in a row with Octopus Energy as our provider. The results displayed by the likes of NZ Compare bear no resemblance to our use model.

Peter is helping us out with something that nearly everyone can relate to – dealing with the unsorted photos taking up space on your phone or languishing in boxes in your home.

“Without fail, when I give a talk about getting organised, I’m always asked how to deal with photos,” says Peter.

Boxes of unsorted photos can feel overwhelming to organise so they often get left for many years to clutter up our houses. In addition to this, most of us have smartphones that make it easy to take photos anywhere, so pretty soon our digital photo life becomes cluttered too.

Get to know your neighbours a little better this March - and beyond!

The month-long celebration Neighbours Aotearoa returns for 2024, running from the 1st to the 31st of March, and encourages people from right across the country to organise activities or events with their neighbours. Whether it’s a friendly wave, sharing tea or hosting a neighbourhood party, there are many ways, big and small, to get involved in your community.

This year’s theme ‘Growing Together’ is about connecting, nurturing relationships, sharing, and encouraging aroha where you live. It’s about growing skills, networks, memories, participation, and fostering a beautiful neighbourhood.

I am your dedicated connector for the Taranaki region. I can provide free event planning resources - such as downloadable invites, event toolkits, bunting, name stickers etc. I can also help those that need it to register their events on the Neighbours Aotearoa website, or just have a general yarn about any ideas you may have.

To find out more about Neighbours Aotearoa and to register your event visit www.neighboursaotearoa.nz... or contact me direct via cass@neighboursaotearoa.nz.
