Sorry to be late in flipping this power switch, but if you are angsting over your household electricity bill, here’s a tool you might find helpful.

Meet Billy. He/she has been around since March (hence my apology), a creation of the NZ’s Electricity Authority.

A calculator tool that helps you identify electricity plans (with some including broadband and gas options as well) that might be cheaper for you given your pattern of home energy usage.

If you think there might be a better deal for you out there, give Billy a try.
