Most connections are Non-Half Hourly (NHH) and won’t be billed based on time-of-use unless you have a specific meter tariff, such as Night/Day, which defines your pricing structure. Learn about tariff options on our Meter tariff change page.

Larger connections, called Commercial and Industrial (C&I) or Time of Use (TOU), are billed based on the time-of-use. These require a Corporate Customer Electricity Supply Agreement (CCESA) before Meridian can supply the site. Information about pricing options for TOU sites is below.

  • EVs for business

    EVs for business

    As a business, there are many benefits to joining the electric journey, especially when it comes to doing your part to help combat climate change. Offering charging stations is a great way to show your support for reducing our country‘s emissions. It’s a no-brainer given the huge increase in EVs on New Zealand roads – and the demand for electric car charging stations. Our team of experts can help you install charging stations for your own fleet, and public charging stations.

    Certified Renewable Energy

    Certified Renewable Energy completely changes the carbon reporting and offsetting game for New Zealand businesses.

It’s not only good for the planet, it’s also good for business. Choosing Certified shows your customers, partners, stakeholders and communities that you care about the future of our planet.

    Commercial solar

    Solar energy is good energy. We can help your business harness the power of the sun with our commercial solar plans. If the thought of upfront capital costs makes you hesitant to get onboard, don’t worry. We can set you up with a Solar Power Purchase Agreement, which makes it easy for you to get started. We’ll take care of the design, installation, and maintenance while you pay it off. Too easy! We can also set you up fully and leave the rest to you, if that’s what you prefer.
