At Genesis Energy we want to make sure you are on the right pricing plan for your energy needs.
That’s why we’ve introduced our Price Plan Check. Each year we’ll let you know how much electricity you’ve used in the previous 12 months and what our plan options are - so you can decide if you’re still on the right pricing plan for your home.
Our annual Price Plan Check notifications are being sent to customers between October and December 2011. You’ll receive your Price Plan Check notification from us either as an email, with your bill or as a letter during this time.
How do I check if I’m on the right plan?
If you're a residential customer we’ll be in touch every year to let you know your previous 12 months energy usage. You can then check whether you are on the right pricing plan for your home.
How do I change my pricing plans?
We’ve explained the differences between our two residential pricing plans below, so you can check whether you’re on the right plan for your household and move to a different plan if you think you're not on the right one.
Classic PlanThe Classic Plan is our low fixed-charge plan and is generally the best plan for customers who use 8,000 kWh or less of electricity each year (9,000 kWh or less for lower South Island customers*). The lower daily fixed charge** on this plan compared to the Household Plan means that it is usually more cost-effective for lower energy users. This plan is only available for primary residences - not holiday homes and other properties you may own. |

Household PlanThe Household Plan is generally the best plan for customers using more than 8,000 kWh of electricity each year (more than 9,000 kWh for lower South Island customers*). The lower variable charge(s) on this plan compared to the Classic Plan means that it is usually more cost-effective for higher energy users. |

**Under electricity regulations the maximum daily fixed charge is 30 cents per day excluding GST after any applicable discounts have been applied. Our daily fixed charge will show as 33.33 cents per day on your bill which is excluding GST but before our prompt payment discount is applied. This equates to 30 cents per day excluding GST and after 10% prompt payment discount.
