How to cut your power bill
Learn how you can reduce your energy costs by using power off-peak.
This is an important time for Wellington’s electricity network. Over time, more homes, businesses and transport are likely to rely on electricity. At the same time, our network is ageing, and some of the equipment that has served the region well for decades will increasingly need to be replaced.
Now, we need to make careful choices about how to build for the future, balancing affordability, safety and reliability while managing the disruption that delivering the work can create for Wellingtonians.
To support the additional investment we are proposing beyond the current investment (DPP4) settings, we intend to apply to the Commerce Commission for a Customised Price-Quality Path (CPP). Our proposal will be independently reviewed and assessed before the Commission decides the price and service-quality settings that will apply to Wellington Electricity.
We have decisions to make about replacing ageing equipment and preparing the network for the future.

We've developed a plan that aims to balance affordability, safety and reliability, while preparing the network for changing needs.
Check out the plan here.
Tell us whether we've got the balance right and what matters most to you.
Take the one-minute survey below.
We’ve developed a draft plan that we think strikes the right balance and helps keep Wellington safe and powered for the future. There are choices to make about the balance between price, reliability and how quickly we invest in the network. We want to be upfront about those trade-offs and hear what you think.
Please complete our survey and tell us what matters most to you.
