Here’s how it works

You nominate the code you wish to support (either NZ Thoroughbred or NZ Harness racing) then the club you wish to support.

10% of all funds raised goes to the General Fund for supporting industry participants in their time of need.

Then 60% goes to your local club for local stakes, 40% goes to the national prize pool fund.

And the only change for you is that your electricity bill will now be from Community Power.

  • The way you receive and use your electricity supply doesn’t change, only now your electricity bill will be from Community Power.
  • Then whenever you use electricity in your home or business you will be creating funding for stakes for NZ Racing.
  • Yes we can create funding from business accounts as well.
  • You pay the same (or less) then you get to donate a share of the profits Community Power makes from your account to support stakes for NZ Racing.
  • If you currently receive a prompt payment discount on your account you will continue to receive this.
  • If you currently receive a distribution company dividend or rebate you will continue to receive this.
  • And there’s no fixed term contract, unless you want one.

Frequently Asked Questions:

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.
