Nova Gas announced today that their energy prices are not currently on the increase in the Wellington and Auckland areas, unlike price rises that other power company customers are experiencing at the moment.
Cressida Gates, Nova Gas Spokesperson said: ``We are committed to providing our customers with competitively priced gas. Households in Auckland and Wellington can also benefit from duel fuel pricing, meaning if customers use gas and electricity they no longer need to pay two daily charges for both.’’
If a Nova Gas customer already uses gas for heating their hot water or for home heating then they are likely to be using far less electricity than a standard household, therefore with no additional daily charge on electricity, customer’s are likely to make significant savings on their energy bills each month.
Ms Gates comments: ``We have customers who have made some significant savings. Some have seen a savings of $100 to $300 a year whilst we have a few customers who are saving up to $700 a year’’.
``The duel fuel option also means that customers receive one energy bill for both their gas and electricity accounts, have both their meters read in one visit and all their energy queries can be answered by just one phone call, which really appeals to busy people’’, continues Ms Gates.
However, Ms Gates also points out that it is important to compare electricity and gas pricing plans: ``The Consumer Powerswitch website provides a good independent analysis of electricity and gas price comparisons for people wanting to compare energy prices.’’
Nova Gas has also partnered up with SuperGold Cards, the card which provides discounts and concessions to all eligible seniors and veterans. Nova Gas are offering all cardholders within the greater Wellington and Auckland regions a discount of 14 cents per day (+GST) off the gas fixed daily charge for Nova Gas’s standard residential pricing plans.

Notes to Editor:
Nova Gas has been supplying commercial gas to users since 1995 when Nova Gas began installing its own high pressure gas pipeline it allowed the company to cut delivery costs to its customers. Nova Gas is 100% owned by Todd Energy, the vibrant New Zealand owned and operated energy company is a major producer of oil and gas as well as electricity generation. With Todd Energy’s backing Nova Gas is able to offer unrivalled gas energy supply security and the ability to create a total energy solution to meet customer’s energy needs.
Nova Gas, in conjunction with Bay of Plenty Energy and the Wellington City Council also operates a new generation plant at the Southern Landfill in Wellington that turns harmful greenhouse gases produced at the landfill into electricity. Harnessing this previously wasted energy source to produce cost effective electricity to supply local homes and businesses has clear benefits for the region and the environment.
