Bach plan
No daily charges, no worries. Power designed for your bach or holiday home, with a fixed two-year term.
Ah, the classic Kiwi bach – long weekends, slow mornings, a place to switch off. Speaking of which, the Bach Plan has no daily charges. You only pay for the power you use when you're there and your rates are fixed, except for the circumstances set out in our Plan Terms
If your main home electricity is with us, it makes sense to throw in your bach too.

Renting out your bach?
If your bach is used a lot, you might be better on a standard residential power plan. If you’re not sure, you can send us an email at hello@meridianenergy.co.nz or give us a call on 0800 496 496.
