Looking at flat-rate plans across Auckland, it's amazing to see the spread of both the fixed "Daily" charge and the variable "Per-unit" charge.

In the data we've seen so far, the daily charge can vary by as much as $2.31 per day, and a kWh of electricity might be as much as 17.75 cents cheaper or more expensive depending on the power company you're with. That might not sound like much, but it adds up over the course of a year when you're paying for thousands of units of electricity.

If you're interested in seeing how your power rates stack up against the other providers in your area, pop over to rategate.nz and upload a recent power bill.
