Higher Electric Prices

David Paul from Sydenham

Hey guys,
I've had an email from Flick explaining why our bill has doubled the past few weeks and thought it was quite informative for all of you to know also. See email below! 👇🏽

Spot price forecast

Over the past fortnight, the spot price in the South Island has sat around 11.2 cents ($0.112).

Our forecast suggests that this will lift to 11.4 cents ($0.114) over the coming month.

So there will probably be some weeks that you’ll be paying more with Flick than you did with your old retailer.

But these higher prices follow 102 consecutive weeks of savings that Flick has delivered to Flicksters. So if you can weather a few bad weeks, we know you’ll still be better off in the long run.

We’ll keep updating you on the forecast as these dry conditions continue.

How long will high prices last?
History tells us that Dry Winter conditions happen once every four or five years, and last from three to eight weeks, so we expect these conditions to be over by mid-August.

But this could all change suddenly if there’s decent rainfall in the right places in the South Island. There’s rain forecast for later this week so it seems the mass finger-crossing happening at Flick HQ may be working!
