For the Wigram area please refer to Christchurch prices. Wigram is a MainPower embedded network in Christchurch.

Pricing options based on your electricity consumption and meter setup

In your network we have two price plans available - these are dependent on your energy usage and apply to all properties that are a primary residence*:

  • Low User Plans
    This is the best option for those who use less than 8,000 kWh per year.
     
  • Standard Plans
    This is the best option for those who use more than 8,000 kWh per year

*Where a property is not a primary residence, only the Standard User Plan is available. For more information, click here.
