What should I do if I am worried about paying my power bill?

A key first step is to reach out to your power provider to discuss your situation and ask for assistance if you need it. Your provider should discuss flexible payment options, and make sure you are on the right plan.

Cameron Burrow, Electricity Retailers Association CEO, encouraged anyone who is concerned about paying their bill to reach out to their power company. The Association represents power retailers like Contact, Genesis, and Mercury Energy. Burrows reassured Kiwis that the association don’t want to see anyone falling into debt or choosing not to heat their homes because they can’t pay their bill.
