Is it time to review your business electricity costs?

With business operating costs continuing to increase, many businesses find value in understanding their options; let's have a look at yours.

If any of the following sound familiar, request a quote and comparison from our team:

  • Your current electricity contract is ending soon
  • Your business has grown or changed
  • Your electricity costs have increased

Whether you want price certainty, flexibility, or a plan that reflects when you use power, we’ll help you choose the right fit for your SME.

  • Saving energy for businesses

    Fixed Energy Plan

    Keep the energy portion of your rate fixed for the term, usually two years. A good choice if you want more certainty around your energy costs.

    Simple Flexi Plan

    No fixed term. A flexible option for businesses that want straightforward pricing without being locked in.

Moving, joining, and getting connected FAQs

What details are needed to set up a Meridian account?

For a business account, we’ll need:

  • Entity details and type
  • Supporting documentation (e.g., partnership agreement)
  • NZBN (if applicable)
  • Director’s personal details (if incorporated less than 5 years)
  • Email address for invoices
  • Business contact phone number
  • A contact person’s details
  • Your preferred payment method (and details if applicable)
  • Your preferred payment date

I’m moving to a new location. What do I need to do?

We hope the move went smoothly!

Check your meter to find your ICP number, then visit our Moving business page to get started. 

We recommend sorting this out a couple of days before you move to ensure things are ready to go, although there is no requirement to provide advance notice of a move-out or move-in. 

If your current or new site is Commercial and Industrial (C&I), also known as Time of Use (TOU), please reach out to your Energy Partner (account manager). If you don’t have an Energy Partner because your old site is not TOU, we will put you in touch with one. Visit our Moving business page. 

What services does Meridian provide?

Meridian supplies electricity to homes, businesses, and farms across Aotearoa New Zealand.

We also offer sustainable business solutions, including:

We don’t supply phone, internet, or gas services.

How do I switch my site to Meridian from another retailer?

It’s easy! Contact us or visit our Get a quote page to get started. In many cases, we can have the switch underway with less than 20 minutes of your time.

If you already have a Meridian account, just email us with your new ICP details and we’ll add the site to your existing account. Make sure you let us know what date this is to be signed up from! 

Will I need to sign any documents when signing up with Meridian?

It depends on your site's connection type:

Most connections are “Non-Half Hourly” (NHH) and don’t require a contract to be physically signed, although if requested, we can put together an agreement for signing. You will need to agree to the terms and conditions for the supply of electricity and those related to your plan, though, either verbally or in writing.  These terms and conditions form the contract between us.

Larger connections, called Commercial and Industrial (C&I) or Time of Use (TOU), require a Corporate Customer Electricity Supply Agreement (CCESA) to be signed before Meridian can supply the site. 

In both cases, our terms and conditions for the supply of electricity apply and form a legal contract between us. You can find our business terms and conditions on our website.

Is there a minimum sign-up term?

You can sign up for as long or as short as you like.

However, if you accept a sign-up incentive (like a credit), incentive recovery fees may apply. When you sign up, we’ll outline the minimum period you must stay with Meridian to avoid any recovery fees applying if you want to leave or change plans.

If you are signing up a Commercial and Industrial (C&I) site, also known as Time of Use (TOU), then a contract (CCESA) must be signed, and this will outline your contractual term.

Can I add a site to my account and keep the same plan as my current sites?

It depends on your agreement.

If your agreement allows it, then yes. In other cases, we may be able to make an exception. Contact us to discuss.
