Save cash on your electricity bill

The Electricity Authority has launched a nationwide programme to help householders and other consumers reduce their power bills by shopping around for the best prices on offer.
The "What's My Number" campaign is an initiative of the authority working with the Ministry of Consumer Affairs and Consumer NZ to help people make more informed choices about their electricity suppliers.
The campaign is based on the website www.whatsmynumber.org.nz which enables consumers to quickly find out how much they can save by switching to the best deal in their region.
It provides a gateway to making the change.
It is being run with Consumer NZ's Powerswitch website, www.powerswitch.org.nz, a site where consumers can switch power companies.
The authority's research indicated that last year the average household could have saved $150 by switching to the cheapest retail offer in their region.
Since the campaign was launched on May 29, a total of 645 TrustPower customers have changed power companies
