How to choose your power company in New Zealand

How to choose your power company in New Zealand

A groundbreaking discovery! In New Zealand, you can pick and choose your power company, as well as the rate you pay!

Confused, I questioned my local flock of Kiwis, who enlightened me to the fact that in New Zealand, there are MULTIPLE power companies who can supply you with electricity.
