I just found this which states: “Receivers can be appointed over companies, individuals, trusts and partnerships”.

 

In this case.

 

“The High Court has placed Du Val Capital Partners Limited together with a number of entities within the Du Val Group, into interim receivership, at the request of the Financial Markets Authority – Te Mana Tātai Hokohoko. The interim receivership orders were also made in respect of Kenyon and Charlotte Clarke.”

You actually can use only one. The other would be completely wrong.

According to Mercury, leaving a standard 80-watt heated towel rail running around the clock costs between $1.02 and $1.72 a day. That mounts up quickly over a month, adding between $30.60 and $51.60 to your bill.

Here’s an even more brutal reality check: On those numbers, your towel rail could be costing you almost $620 a year. Yikes.

Assuming 100% duty cycle ( which they never are ) that towel rail is only using 2 units / day ( Max )

According to the Mercury website their power is $0.2302 / KW so Maximum of $0.4604 / Day.

To get their $10.2 / day you will need three, most likely four heated towel rails and 75% or 50% duty cycle respectively.

Stuff: "I haven't seen a cloud in months"

Drought fueling spread of fungus that’s making people sick across California: Despite the dangers of the disease — which can severely infect not only the respiratory system but also the skin, bones and brain — the researchers identified proactive ways that workers can protect themselves, such as minimizing time outdoors during dusty periods and wearing face coverings.

The article cites Mercury as the source for towel rail running cost:

Most people would expect an energy retailer to be a trustworthy source of information. That is where the upper estimate of $1.72 per day came from.
