We’ve got the power<br />

<strong>Grey</strong> <strong>Power</strong>’s vice president Mac Welch reckons he’s almost $300 a year better off<br />

these days; and that’s without much effort. Mac was among the first to sign up to a<br />

power deal that’s exclusive to the Federation’s almost 70,000 members.<br />

BY NICKY PELLEGRINO<br />

<strong>Grey</strong> <strong>Power</strong> Electricity was<br />

introduced over three years ago<br />

and Mac started noticing its<br />

benefits straight away. “My wife and<br />

I compared bills and the first month<br />

we made a $22 saving. If you add that<br />

up over 12 months, that’s a good bit of<br />

money isn’t it?”<br />

Best of all the benefits are guaranteed to<br />

continue. <strong>Grey</strong> <strong>Power</strong> Electricity has a<br />

Price Protection that has recently been<br />

extended until the end of <strong>March</strong> 2020 – so<br />

the cost for energy used won’t rise before<br />

that date. And there are other advantages.<br />

Rather than locking customers into a<br />

restrictive long-term contract, <strong>Grey</strong> <strong>Power</strong><br />

Electricity only requires 30 days’ notice<br />

from members who want to drop out. And<br />

power bills are designed to make it simple<br />

to see exactly where the money is going.<br />

“The <strong>Grey</strong> <strong>Power</strong> Plan is extremely<br />

popular,” says Mac. “We set it up with<br />

two aims – to supply the best power<br />

deal we can to our members and to<br />

create some real competition in the<br />

market at a time when electricity bills<br />

were going nowhere but up, continuously<br />

and unjustifiably.”<br />

People on fixed incomes can’t keep up with<br />

these constant increases, points out Mac.<br />

“We’ve all heard the stories about elderly<br />

people who go to bed early with a<br />

hot water bottle because staying up to<br />

watch television would drive their power<br />

bill too high. And there have even been<br />

some elderly people who have gone<br />

without food.”<br />

Over 19,000 members are now benefitting<br />

from the peace of mind and lower<br />

prices offered by the <strong>Grey</strong> <strong>Power</strong> Plan,<br />

which is the result of a partnership with<br />

Pulse Energy.<br />

To all the rest Mac says, ‘Don’t delay –<br />

start saving money. Older people tend<br />

to be loyal to the service provider they<br />

know and trust. But it’s well worth<br />

getting a price comparison. It’s as easy as<br />

calling 0800 GREY POWER (0800 473<br />

976). Making the switch is simple too.<br />

That’s all organized by <strong>Grey</strong> <strong>Power</strong> with<br />

no break in supply.”<br />

“The plan is excellent and I can’t speak<br />

highly enough of it,” says Mac. “It’s been<br />

a great thing for the members and the<br />

<strong>Grey</strong> <strong>Power</strong> Federation.”<br />

What our customers say<br />

Have had good service<br />

and the cost is better than<br />

others, and my gas and<br />

account Judy Pratt<br />

The stability of costing,<br />

reliability and affordability<br />

for pensioners.<br />

Diane Jeffries<br />

The price of the power is good with<br />

some of it price locked for a time<br />

which adds trust knowing that the<br />

price wont go up dramatically. Also<br />

whenever I have had a query, these<br />

have been responded to quickly<br />

and clearly. Keep up the good<br />

work! Allison Foley<br />
