I was charged over 30c/kwhr by a retailer owned by a generator. I switched to fickelectric and my bill has been reduced by 15% over 3 months. that is why share prices are reducing. The problem with the Nz electricity market is that there is not enough competition in the generation side and generation and retailing were not separated when the market was set up.Tiwai only has to shut one potline to create problems,and no board will commit to new generation as long as Tiwai is on short term contracts .
