Everyday plans

Our everyday plans are a great option, and suit most people. Our most popular plan is the 2 year fixed rate plan. Did you know that if you need to move house before 2 years is up, you can? Just keep your power with Meridian when you move and there will be no break fees, and you get to keep your rates locked in until the end of the fixed rate term.

2 Year fixed rate plan

If you’re looking for peace of mind and stability, our two-year fixed-rate plan is right for you. You’ll pay the same rate for you daily power and usage rates for the length of your plan and won’t be hit with any surprise rate increases.** The sweetener? A $200 welcome credit to get you started.*

Freedom plan

Need more flexibility? Our Freedom Plan has variable rates, you’re not locked into a fixed term contract and there’s also no penalties. This means your power rates will change as energy prices change. You could save money if energy prices drop but, if they rise so will your electricity rates.
