Counties Energy Trust Election!
Hey neighbours, NZ Compare wanted to remind you to vote in your local Counties Energy Trust Elections kicking off tomorrow 15th July 2023.
The role of the Counties Energy Trust is to monitor the performance of Counties Energy to ensure they drive results that benefit the local electricity consumers - like YOU! So, It's important to elect Trustees that represent residents' needs effectively as it is all of us who pay for the service. Our wonderful General Manager - Megan Matthews is a candidate this year too!
Each household in the Counties Energy area will receive voting papers in the post, they will have a unique Access Code and Password. You need these handy to vote online. You don’t need to leave the couch to have your say this year! Click 'READ MORE' to go place your vote tomorrow.
