On Friday, the Commerce Commission released its decision on the default price path for 16 electricity lines businesses.

As a result of their analysis, the Commerce Commission have given a clear view of the average residential electricity bill split.

They say that distribution (local lines charges) is only 23.2% of an average bill and transmission (Transpower) charges are about 7.4% of an average consumer bill.

Contractors struck an electrical cable in Massey during the week. Electricity supply was not affected, and the cable was referred to supervisors for urgent further work.
