Confirmation the electricity market is broken

[king1]

well I bit the bullet and signed up with one of Contact Energy's plans

I would much prefer to support the smaller players in the market but we're reasonably high use and 40-50% increase would have added an extra couple of hundred a month...

Maybe when someone sorts the wholesale market out we'll move back. Was on Flick a few years back at the wholesale rates plan they had and was saving something like 20% on the going rate at the time - but thats all gone by the by now...
