As I mentioned before, that kind of bill is easily obtainable and probably not uncommon. 2 years ago my cousin thought of nothing having a $600 September power bill living in Lower Hutt. 3 bedroom house she ran a 3kW heater in each bedroom plus heating in the living room kitchen. Also note the daily line connection + levy can be $20 to $50 per month.Quote:
$2,200 over 120 days is about $17 per day. I defy you to identify what in our 2-bedroom flat could possibly be using $17 of power per day,*
On a different note, as long as the NZ National government is on the path of selling state assets in the electrical companies, higher power prices are in thier best interest.
