About the move

Why am I being moved from Flick to Meridian?

From 22 July 2025, Flick Electric becomes part of the Meridian Energy whānau. We’re currently working hard in the background to match you with a plan that suits your situation. Once this has been confirmed you will receive an email from us with your new pricing and plan. In the meantime, you'll remain on your current rate with Flick. 

When will the transfer happen?

We’ll begin moving Flick customers over to Meridian from 22 July 2025. There are quite a few of you, so we’ll be doing this in stages to make sure everything goes smoothly. Before your power plan is switched to Meridian, we’ll send you an email with your new rates and the plan we’ve matched you to, so you’ll always be across what’s happening.

Do I need to do anything?

No, we are taking care of it all in the background. You'll receive an email in the coming weeks from Meridian letting you know what your new plan is. Once you’ve received this, you’ll also get a welcome email from Meridian letting you know your account has been switched over.

Can I switch away?

Yes, you can move to another retailer at any time.

How do I know if I am with Meridian or Flick currently?

You’ll get a welcome email from Meridian once your account has been transferred. This email will include your new account number. Until then, your power supply will remain with Flick. You don’t need to do anything, we’re handling the switch for you.

What plan will I be put on?

We’re taking the time to match you with a plan that best suits your needs. If you’re not happy with the plan that we have chosen for you once the switch to Meridian is complete, our team of energy experts is here to help. Just have your account number handy, it’ll be in your welcome email and we’ll work with you to find a better fit.

Billing and payments

What happens to my credit with Flick?

Any credit that you have with Flick will be transferred to your new Meridian account.

Who do I pay?

For now, Flick.

Once you have received your final bill from Flick any balance left once that bill has been paid will be transferred over to Meridian. You will receive an email from us with the final balance that will be transferred over to Meridian this will be reflected on your first bill.

I was on Bill Smoother with Flick, what does Meridian offer?

You can sign up to this once you receive your welcome email from Meridian with your account  number on it It’s a simple way to make budgeting easier.
