Homeowner blindsided by April 600% Lines Charge Increase – Here’s How Solar can offset it

As reported by RNZ,when Marlborough Sounds bach-owner Mark opened his latest bill, he discovered his daily fixed charge had leapt from 60c to $4.24 – a 600% jump that could top $3000 a year for just 60 days’ use. “Property values will likely drop though as the appeal of owning a property where supply is so expensive will wane," he told RNZ.

With low-user tariffs being phased out and lines companies lifting fees nationwide, many Kiwis are bracing for the same hit. The good news? Going solar with a well-designed solar system – and a few smart habits – acts like a circuit-breaker against those unavoidable charges.
