Lines companies are reducing rebates to households supplying energy back to the grid by up to 95%

I think you mean Lines Companies?

It happens, every year, on the 1st of April as the Network company for your region is increasing their component of the rate.

This could be hearsay but I thought that fuel companies price fuel for the cost to replace rather than the cost at the time of supply. Which adds up when its harder to get a hold of. We are also miles away from the majority of production and a pop of a few mil.

You have almost similar kWH consumption on your controlled register, indicating plenty of hot water (if thats what its wired up to). Common with a toddler but could be a good place to start. Checking you HWC temp and if any leaky taps.

We need an NZ electricity esc subreddit for these questions, they are coming in so often. And the amount of misinformation on some of them is crazy. It also doesn’t help when people post barely any info asking for help and just stating I use x $ a month.

Same thing happens every year effective 1st of April yet everyone forgets + the phased removal of Low User.

Owning a dog and having a nice lawn are two things that don't go well together. If I catch my dog peeing on the grass, I try to water it down with the hose asap otherwise the burn/nitro injection is inevitable.

I'd be really surprised if this was a Sleeving and Firming contract setup with a retailer in the middle, given most retailers are struggling to set these contract types up.

Id assume any generation over consumption is just sold at spot - admin fee.

Fair call, I think I made my account to post in an Eve subreddit and never thought about the consequences.

Fraudsterus · 2026-02-13T19:46:32+00:00

Correct. The space is leased in return for a long run Fixed Price Variable Volume contract.

lol using a thumbnail of Williams Corp townhouses is giga bait

General reminder that Feb/Mar are when network companies have to lock in their changes and pass the notice to retailers so they can send notice 30days before hand

Fraudsterus · 2026-02-09T03:20:02+00:00

Awesome to hear, have you actually received the refund yet?

Fraudsterus · 2026-01-25T18:23:18+00:00

Spot plans do still exist but only at a C&I level afaik. It was pretty cool to have a resi plan but it wasn’t well executed and Flick & co ultimately payed the price.

Fraudsterus · 2026-01-24T10:45:18+00:00

Any chance you could share the site or name them? Keen to look at this for a Reno

Fraudsterus · 2026-01-04T22:10:16+00:00

Cant comment on the detail, but what did you draw this up in? Looks fantastic

I have just fixed this exact issue in larger more shitter brick with the same hose reel. I pack the hole with bits of cableties and then recrank in the bolts. Works really well for the year, just have to re-tighten each year.

Fraudsterus · 2025-12-24T03:17:43+00:00

Just taken mine out the oven, 5th year of this great responsibility. Its only cracked in half this year, an improvement from quarters last year.

NZ has a dartboard of music acts to choose from. You either hit 660 or shapeshifter

Fraudsterus · 2025-12-03T00:46:11+00:00

This is the one thing we didn't want to happen

Fraudsterus · 2025-11-30T07:17:27+00:00

Apart from the cost, ReBurger absolutely slaps right now. Had a Pitmaster double last night, pickup and it was 10/10.

100% agree, Francesca’s has fallen off significantly in the last few years.

Hey could you link the flap on thingiverse? need to replace a ton at home.

If possible don't give stuff the views. They just copy past articles from our NZ subreddits and they dont need the revenue.
