    Here’s a link to a site that shows electricity costs at towns and cities across NZ - Link

    I live in the highest price area, and just saw that Top Energy are claiming that their electricity is now 100% carbon neutral. Shame about the price.

      Not sure how they gather or process that data, given different companies are different and vary a lot. I live in rural Wairarapa and pay 30 cents peak, 23 cents off peak and 16 cents night rate, but it reckons Masterton is 37 cents? Seems doubtful.

        “ LIMITATIONS OF THE DATA

        This dataset provides a handy indicator of how recent price increases are likely to impact on consumers. However, it does not reflect what customers have actually paid for electricity in any particular period, as the QSDEP only models one type of customer in each city or town, when in reality, Consumption and pricing plans vary significantly across households. ”
