Are you one of the 9 per cent yet to apply for the free $230 power dividend?
The Hawke's Bay Power Consumers' Trust (HBPCT) says 9 per cent of the 62,000 power consumers eligible for the dividend in the Napier and Hastings region are yet to apply as payments start to hit residents' bank accounts.
Trust chairwoman Diana Kirton said the 91 per cent of Hawke's Bay power consumers who registered for the dividend on time was significantly more than in 2020.
"It is great response considering we ran the registration campaign amidst the constant Covid-19 messages being received.
"We now just need the final 9 per cent to register."
