A bit of a tip - if you export your yearly data, simplify it slightly by removing columns that don't matter, import it to ChatGPT (I believe using the o4-mini model) and describe what you've imported "This is the power use in kWh for the last year for NZ provider Octopus, each line is 15mins, this meter 55 is showing hot water usage as a controlled load. My rates are these. Compare other rates as I hand them to you showing monthly and yearly cost" it'll compare rates telling you the cheapest.
I used it to compare even on-peak and off-peak plans by giving it the details of those plans and concluded, in my case, I could save over $500/yr by switching to Genesis.
Had a few people do this now and it is great for comparing based on actual usage data.
I did that also and ended up using the AI to create a web page to compare multiple situations, I uploaded it here in case someone else wants to use it, the data is all processed locally so no server involved - https://polite-pixie-3494cd.netlify.app . I've only used it with my csv export from Z so I can't guarantee it works for others. I entered in different offers from about 8 different providers. I'm with Z currently and with 1 year of data they still end up being cheapest by quite a bit as I shift ~50% of my use in to their free hours. Contact 9-12 free or Genesis EV plan (with dual fuel discount) will be my back up choice depending on how things change with the swap to Meridian.
