31192 (2025). Arena Williams to the Minister for Energy: Does the Minister agree with the statement by Consumer NZ that "Powerswitch’s comparison tool has been helping New Zealanders save money for over 25 years now"?

Hon Simon Watts: I believe the service provided by Powerswitch has been useful, which is why I am pleased to see the Electricity Authority initiated a competitive procurement process for the publicly funded comparison and switching service to continue providing that service to consumers.
