If you’re unsure of some of these terms, it really won’t help you feel confident in comparing different plans. We don’t want to see our Neighbours get tripped up and stuck with a big bill this chilly season!
So to help you, we’ve put together a list of all the power terminology that you need to know!

The growing Muslim community in Rolleston has begun an almighty task to fundraise to build a new masjid where they can worship in the fast-growing town.
Nehaad Al-waiz, 27, felt isolated praying five times a day from home, so he got a group together to rent a room in the industrial area of the town on the southern outskirts of Christchurch.
The number of Muslims in the town has tripled between the last two available Censuses, leading the Rolleston Islamic Charitable Trust start dreaming of a mosque of their own. Now they’re determined to turn that dream into a reality.
“When we build something, it will be a masjid, the very first in Selwyn, for everyone.”
Due to specific needs around consents and so as not to disturb anyone, the group will need to raise “anywhere from $1.2 to $2.4 million” for the land alone in either a commercial zone or lifestyle block.
