TYPICAL PRICE COMPARISON FOR RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS IN NORTHPOWER'S NETWORK AREA 15 NOVEMBER 2007 (gst inclusive)

Power Bill

Your bill comes from the retail energy company that actually sells you the electricity that comes down the Northpower network to your home or business. For example, Meridian energy, Genesis Power, Mercury Energy, Contact Energy, and Empower are companies that sell electricity in our area.

On your power bill there are energy (electricity) charges, which are paid to your energy retailer, and then there are also lines charges which are paid to Northpower (the energy retailer collects lines charges on behalf of Northpower so that you don't get two bills).
