about us
Our Story
Since our inception in 2009, we have helped thousands of New Zealand businesses save millions of dollars on energy costs. Through continual development, we have devised a Specialised Energy Bulk Tender:
The National Energy Tender uses the collective buying power of a group to leverage the lowest possible prices for electricity & gas. We pool your business together with other large users and submit a massive amount of energy to an open market tender. 20 power companies fight to win your business, the lowest price wins. Then, our energy experts review and reconfigure your meter to ensure you are purchasing energy in the most cost effective way for your specific consumption patterns.
The whole framework has been designed so it requires minimal time and input from our busy customers
We serve residential too!
