Rip-off power prices in NZ

I don't know what planet Graeme Peters (chief executive, Electricity Networks Association) is living on but it's not planet Earth.

His comment on TV1 news 'I think New Zealanders are paying about the same price for electricity as they were in 2004” is a clear indication that he is not living where the rest of New Zealand lives.

Our power bill has gone up regularly since 2004 when we were paying about $70 a month for power in Auckland. When we left Auckland in 2010 our last bill was $95.

Last winter, in a smaller house in Tauranga, our highest bill was $600, which was a cold month. Our average summer bill this year is $250.

If Mr Peters can clearly explain to me how $70 and $600 or $250 can be the same I would love to hear from him, or any other genius for that matter.

A Bourne, Bethlehem.

"Yes" remember the Labour MP that started the power reform, a Max Bradford. You can lay the blame squarely at his door for our expensive prices. I can well remember paying 2 cents kWh to Genesis Energy in 2000. Look where we have come since?
