.......Sue was on to Meridian today querying this only to be told, after they had quoted us the 2 free hours verbally and twice by email, the deal wasn't available in our neighborhood as our supplier Network Waitaki doesn't enable this. WTF. #EV #Meridian #Waitaki #Beware

Down here in Oamaru NZ we decided to switch fron Contact to Meridian because of their EV Plan for electricity supply. The main benefit being the night time cheap rate goes 9pm-7am rather than 11pm-7am. This new deal gives 2 extra cheap hours, great. Being an untrusting Scotsman I sat and watched the meter expecting it to change at 9pm, guess what it didn't, it changed at 11pm as usual.

Bless this mess. Diversity, an unexpected surprise, things a little out of place.. can be a blessing in disguise. #Oamaru Public Gardens, #Waitaki. The grass is native.. Carex secta #nzplants In pic.. Nigel @unearth

In the Network Waitaki Power area. Power has been off for 1 hr and counting. Outages map is pointless. It doesn't show any outages apart from scheduled ones. I have reported it but seems prehistoric. I know Waitaki has more country areas to look after but when I lived in Auckland you could see which streets were out and when they would be fixed. Even got a discount or credit if the outage lasted longer than a set time. #electricity #electricpower #waitaki https://www.networkwaitaki.co.nz/customers/power-outages/
