Your electricity supply
We have enough power for all our customers! So, unless there are any unexpected outages outside of our control, we will still be able to supply electricity to your home.
Estimate meter readings
We are not able to visit your property to read meters at this time. If you have a smart meter, we are usually able to read your meter remotely and bill you based on an actual read (provided there is good network coverage). If you do not have a smart meter, we will bill you based on an estimate. If you do receive an estimated bill, any discrepancy between your last actual read and your next actual read would be balanced out.
Delay in receiving your bill by post
Due to the current situation, there may be a delay in receiving your bills by post. If you have an email address, the fastest way to receive your bills is to register for My Account at www.greypowerelectricity.co.nz... You will need your Account Number and email address.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
