Look out for your Network Tasman discount on your next electricity bill ✉️

This spring, Network Tasman will credit $7 million to consumers' power bills 💡

Thanks to consumer ownership and a focus on cost efficiency, this discount builds on the more than $250 million that has already been returned to consumers through discounts since the scheme began in 1994.

To be eligible for a Network Tasman discount, a consumer must have an active metered connection to our network at midnight on 18 September 2025. Our network covers the Nelson Tasman region, excluding central Nelson.

Your discount rate is based on the electricity you consumed between 1 April 2025 and 31 August 2025.

Most residential consumers will receive a discount of between $30 and $100. You can find the exact value of your discount on our website.

You will need your ICP number, which is typically at or near the top of page 2 on your bill, near your location address. The ICP has 15 characters and starts with several zeros, e.g. 0000055245NT1G2

More information about our discount is available on our website: www.networktasman/consumer-discounts
