ruben999: H
And now the kicker..... as the lines charge is built into the individual unit price, if I then have spike in usage I will paying too much in line charges.
Is this refunded?
Never Underestimate the Power of Stupid People in Large Groups ...
Do you have an up to date list of the lines charge prices per region?

deepthought:Never Underestimate the Power of Stupid People in Large Groups ...
BraaiGuy:I love this quote, but wonder whether it should be "Never Underestimate the Stupidity of Powerful People in Large Groups" :D
deepthought: you can see the estimate we use for pricing on the prices explained page - it is essentially based on last month's usage, this month's and a forecast of next months. Overall most customers have fairly stable usage patterns after we have a couple of month's meter readings.
timmmay: I'm not with Powershop, I'm with Meridian, same company I believe. In Wellington I pay 23c/kwh, my bill varies between $120 in summer and $350 in winter so I'm not a low user.
deepthought: Matt, it pretty much comes down to usage. The Cyber Monday special was set up to be 10% of your monthly usage. If you look at https://secure.powershop.co.nz/prices/charts for you, you will see that the estimate usage we are using for you is currently 23.9 kWh/day. So 10% (let's call it 3 days) is 72 units. Without giving too much away, Juha's current usage estimate is 38.3 kWh/day. For him 3 days usage is 115 kWh.
Similar story in relation to prices. Using the above numbers and the fixed cost information in your pricing charts you should be able to explain the 1.5c/kWh price difference.
deepthought: @sbiddle: think of Powershop as buying power the same way you buy petrol... you can see how much it is in c/kWh and you know exactly how much you get for your money - in that context it is actually pretty simple.
