The EnergyMate website helps consumers make the most of their electricity and provides advice on appliances, power use, and power bills.
The low-fixed charge Power Credits scheme (launched in 2022) is an industry-funded initiative that provides households in hardship who are transitioning off the low-fixed charge with $110 credits on their bills. The programme has issued around $3.5 million worth of credits to consumers to date.
ERGANZ runs the Powering Change initiative, which promotes efforts across the energy sector to offer New Zealanders more renewable options. The website includes measures and metrics that illustrate New Zealand's progress towards the government’s goal of ensuring 50 percent of all energy use comes from renewable sources by 2035.
