Why it pays to compare plans
Did you know over 90% of New Zealanders who compare power plans find savings—often around $400 a year? Comparing power plans is quick and easy with a free online tool—it takes just five minutes and won’t disrupt your supply. A simple switch could lead to real savings. Click here to compare
To save more, match your power plan to your lifestyle. If you're home during the day, a 'time of use' plan could cut costs by using power during off-peak hours. Tailoring your plan to your routine helps keep more money in your pocket.
Head to the Electricity Authority’s website, where they offer free tools to help you compare and switch plans with ease. With so many New Zealanders already saving up to $400 a year, there’s no reason to wait. Smart power choices start here, and the benefits can last all year long.

Take charge of your electricity costs and see how much you could save today. You might just wonder why you didn’t switch sooner.

On 16Jun25, I attended my last Citizenship Ceremony at Christchurch City Council as part of the Hon. Mayor’s special/ invited guests.

These ceremonies had become a favourite part of my life for many years. I have been privileged to have been to these ceremonies at several venues, with many mayors and deputy mayors. Each of them have their own inimitable style.

I am humbled that Hon Mayor Phil Mauger made a special mention of this being the last ceremony for me, in his speech! What an absolute honour!

I am also lucky to have witnessed the citizenship of many friends and colleagues - over the years - and to be one of the first to greet them in person.

332 residents from 42 countries became New Zealanders at this ceremony.
