Pricing plans

Meridian is committed to providing farmers with choice and helping you save energy and money, so why not request a price comparison to see if you can save on your electricity bill?

We'd like the opportunity to tailor some rates for your farming business so please contact us on 0800 496 777 or complete a Price Comparison Form here, so our Agribusiness Team can help you choose the best package for you.

Your electricity bill

The price you pay for electricity reflects all the services required to generate electricity and deliver it to your property.

It incorporates the costs and charges of generators, Transpower, your network company, electricity retailer, and any government or regulatory charges that apply.

If you’d like to know more about how your prices are made up, have a look at our Energy Pricing Made Simple brochure (PDF 1MB).

Pricing options

Fixed or Floating

Farming customers with both TOU and NHH metering may choose between fixed and floating pricing plans. The choice depends on how you use electricity and how you want to manage your business.

Co-op discounts

Meridian Energy has relationships with several rural co-operatives to offer discounts for members on their electricity bill. Group discounts are currently available to members of:

  • Ashburton Trading Society (ATS)
  • Combines Rural Traders (CRT)
  • Farmlands
  • RD1.

Off-Peak pricing

Consider moving some of your load to an off-peak pricing plan, for example a Night Rate so you can take advantage of their lower charges.

Please email us or call us on 0800 496 777 if you have any questions or would like to arrange a cost comparison. There’s someone available to take your call between 7.30am and 5.30pm, Monday to Friday (except public holidays).
