Retailers not on Powerswitch
There are around 40 retail brands listed in New Zealand. However, many of these are very small. We have only considered providers that have more than 200 customers.
The retailers currently participating in Powerswitch supply approximately 99% of New Zealand's households. However, several smaller retailers have either opted not to list their plans on Powerswitch or are not accepting new customers. Other retailers are not listed because they only offer their services to certain groups and are not available to the general public. These retailers have cited various reasons for their decision, and while we respect their choice, we remain committed to engaging with them and fostering their participation in order to enhance the platform's comprehensiveness.
