Tried to contact them today at 3.50 pm and was told that the wait time would be 15 mins.

This is certainly not acceptable for a company of this size, so go elsewhere if you want good customer services

Going dark on Genesis. They installed a new meter late last year 21. I notified them in Jan/Feb it did seem to be working as my app was not recording use. In August 22 they finally addressed the issue and now I am stuck with a significant back dated invoice. I am a low user but they now suggest I go on standard plan to reduce bill. Standard plan costs more overall. C'mon Genesis get your act together, now shopping for other providers.
Pros
Like their app
Cons
failure to correct their problem appears to be at my cost despite my alerting the issue to them

A fair deal on power for New Zealanders?
What is the final word on the government’s Electricity Price Review? The final report have been submitted but many New Zealanders are heading into a cold winter paying more than they should for power. How can we level the field for a fairer power marketplace? Using your consumer power to make an informed choice about which provider you choose can help you take control.
