Frequently asked questions and answers:

How long has Community Power been around?

Community Power started in April 2017 and to date credits of over $50,000 have been made to various charities, sports club and individuals as a result of their supporters buying their electricity from Community Power.

Many customers have also saved on their electricity and gas bills through Community Power, if we can lower your bill and save you some money as well, we will.

 

How can you do this? Sounds too good to be true?

We keep our operating costs lower than those of the big power companies, we don’t have executives on very large salaries, instead we use these savings to give back to the Community, to the charity, community group, club or individual of your choice. You decide who you wish to help and we send your credit there.

 

I currently receive a prompt payment discount, will I still receive this?

YES

I receive a network company dividend, will I still receive this?

YES. The network dividend comes to you from the Network company regardless of which retailer you are with.

Will my power be interrupted if I switch to you?

NO, your electricity is never disconnected when switching between retailers.

Isn’t switching really hard?

NO, once you say “Yes please switch me” we do the rest. Other than proving us with a few details to set up your account thats all you need to do.

Where do you get your electricity from, do you burn coal?

Great question! We are very fortunate in New Zealand, approx 85% of our electricity is generated from renewable sources including Hydro, Geothermal and Wind.

Transpower manages the national grid and purchases electricity from the generators throughout the country according to the demand from consumers and the availability of water throughout New Zealand’s Hydro storage system.

When Hydro storage is low other forms of generation are brought on stream to meet the demand to keep the lights on.

Retailers don’t manage the source of electricity generation and nor can we guarantee to you where the electricity you use is generated from. What retailers can say is that most of the electricity you will use comes from renewable sources, its the same for all retailers.

Have any other questions…email us at:  support@communitypower.co.nz
