The Authority has a statutory objective to promote competition in the electricity industry for the long-term benefit of consumers. If all consumers were to move to the cheapest plan available, they would save an estimated-on average $240 a year.

The objective of this project is to reduce the behavioural barriers that currently prevent consumers from taking action to consider their electricity deal, so that more New Zealanders feel able and confident to access the benefits of a competitive electricity market. This project will deliver on a recommendation made by the Electricity Price Review.

To achieve the project objective, we will be delivering a trial scheme that tests variations of a letter to consumers providing information about switching. The letter approach has been selected, as we believe this may be a cost-effective way of reaching consumers who are less able, or less confident, to access internet.

This tender has been awarded.
