## Description

Powerswitch is a free, independent power price comparison service backed by Consumer NZ, a not-for-profit consumer organisation. It helps New Zealanders compare electricity and gas plans from participating energy retailers and find an option suited to their needs. Users can enter their address or upload a recent power bill, review available prices, and choose whether to switch; their new retailer then gets in touch. Comparisons are ranked by price rather than promotions, and Powerswitch says they cover 99% of the market. The service compares plans from 15 energy providers and can be completed in about three minutes. Powerswitch reports that users save around $450 a year on average, and that it facilitated 1.1 million comparisons in 2025. In addition to plan comparisons, the site provides guidance on choosing a power plan, switching, bundled options, and saving on household energy costs. It also offers a calculator to explore how home electrification upgrades could affect energy bills, alongside information about solar rates and answers to common questions.
