Consumer has the sole contract worth $1.4 million dollars a year from the Electricity Authority to do the work. Another business, NZ Compare wants to take on the contract and its chief executive, Gavin Male, says there's good reason for them to. Powerswitch manager at Consumer Paul Fuge spoke to Corin Dann.

Switching power companies is put in the too-hard basket by many of us but new data shows significant discrepancies in pricing that could be hard to ignore. Independent comparison website Powerswitch says electricity prices are going up around the country but with that has come a growing difference between the plans available to consumers. Powerswitch manager Paul Fuge says hundreds of dollars a year can be saved by choosing the right provider. He spoke to Corin Dann.

A war of words has broken out between Electric Kiwi and Consumer NZ over the running of a power comparison site. Powerswitch was set up with Government funding to help consumers find the best power deal using independent advice. However, Electric Kiwi plans have been removed after the company refused to pay commission fees. Electric Kiwi chief marketing officer Andy Cooper joined Heather du Plessis-Allan.

Around 2.1 million people will have received the first of the three cost of living payments today. However, some of the money has gone to overseas expats, some of which will have shocked some who have returned to their home countries. The owner of a Christchurch brewery is calling for prices to be removed from advertising. Three Boys Brewery's Ralph Bungard reckons that doing so will help curb our drinking problem. Electric Kiwi and Consumer NZ are having a war of words. It comes as the independent power company refused to pay commission fees to feature on Powerswitch, which saw the company removed from the website.

Consumer NZ's Powerswitch has been crunching the numbers and has found some power users will be facing price hikes of up to $1000 a year. The industry traditionally puts its prices up on April 1st every year. Consumer NZ chief exceutive Jon Duffy spoke to Corin Dann.

Inflation has become the thief in our wallets for the first time in a generation and there are plenty of culprits to blame. The Ukraine War, supply chain disruptions and US$10t of money printing are the first and most obvious cabs off the rank, but there's a new and more insidious source of inflation developing: automatic inflation. These annual CPI-linked price increases from a range of companies, utilities, government departments and regulated services are fine when inflation is "normal" and stable around 2%, but this year's 6% increases are turning into a nasty feedback loop of inflationary pressure that will hurt those on the lowest disposable incomes the hardest. Bernard Hickey goes on the hunt for these inflation robots in this last episode of this season of When The Facts Change. He asks Finance Minister Grant Robertson whether the likes of Chorus should lift its prices in line with inflation and finds out from Paul Fuge, who manages Powerswitch.org.nz for Consumer NZ, how electricity companies are pushing through increased rates amid a confusing welter of regulatory changes.When the Facts Change is brought to you by The Spinoff Podcast Network together with Kiwibank.

Does installing solar power at home eventually pay for itself? According to Consumer New Zealand, it all depends whether you are "solar-suitable". Factors include: how much sun your house gets, the pitch of your roof, how much and what time of day you use power, and how much you sell back to the grid. Also, factors such as how much power prices and buy-back rates fluctuate, and the lifetime cost of your system, including repairs. Electricity and gas price comparison service Powerswitch manager Paul Fuge has has done the research for Consumer NZ. He tells Lynn Freeman he also had solar installed on his own house the week before lockdown.

I want to draw your attention to what is developing into a reasonable problem - and that is the price of electricity.Last week we got that survey out showing what high electricity prices are doing to business. Bills have gone up for 41 percent of businesses – the average increase is a whopping 76 percent – and three quarters of businesses plan to charge customers more to cover the increase in their bills.Today, the boss of the Powerswitch –the electricity comparison website – warned that while households haven't yet been stung with power price hikes, we probably will next year,This winter, big businesses are already cutting back on their production right now because they can't afford the power bills.Methanex has stopped work at its Motunui facility in Taranaki for three months to free up gas so we can use it for generating electricity.NZ Steel and Norske Skog paper mills are understood to be cutting back or altering production when spot prices peak.   Bosses at the Whakātane mill blamed the decision to sell the mill on power prices.  And MBIE, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, has warned the government wholesale electricity prices could remain elevated for two years because of shortages of gas which we use to create electricity.And that is your problem: Gas. This is our first dry winter since the gas ban of 2018. So this is the first winter since that we've needed gas to be able to help us out generating electricity when we don't have enough water in the lakes to do it.For reasons unrelated to the ban, we don't have enough gas, but because of the ban, we will not get more gas fields to help, and the price of gas has already gone up.So this is most likely what future dry years will be like.Can we really justify all of this - downing tools, charging households more, charging businesses more – all for those increased costs?  Just so we can take gas out of the equation of New Zealand's infinitesimally small 0.17 percent of global emissions? That gas ban is crazy and we're learning very quickly how expensive it's going to make future winters.

People in areas with the lowest average incomes are paying the highest electricity prices in the country, according to the latest released data from MBIE, analysed by Consumer New Zealand. The MBIE data shows that residential prices went up one percent over the last year but that is being disproportionately felt across regions. Power customers in Kerikeri pay 30 per cent more than those in Auckland, where median incomes are 24 percent higher. Prices in Masterton are 15 percent higher than they are in Wellington, and the representative price in Westport, which has lower than average incomes, is 28 percent higher than in Christchurch, which on average has higher incomes. Paul Fuge, Manager of Powerswitch, the independent electricity and gas price comparison services, says in real terms power prices have increased by half since 2000.
