However, if your enquiry relates to your electricity account, you will need to contact your electricity Retailer directly.
Please remember to always refer your query or complaint

Electricity and Gas Complaints Commissioner
If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your complaint, or if we have not resolved your complaint within twenty working days, you have the option of contacting the Electricity and Gas Complaints Commissioner (“EGCC”). Circumstances where you may ask the Commissioner to consider your complaint before the twenty working days have elapsed are:
- If Horizon Energy has made it clear that we do not intend to do anything about the complaint
- If you suffer unreasonable harm from waiting any longer
- If it would otherwise be unjust for you to wait any longer
Contact details for the EGCC are:
Freepost 192682
PO Box 5875
Lambton Quay
Wellington 6145
Phone: 0800 223 340
Email: info@egcomplaints.co.nz
The EGCC Scheme is free and independent. It works to facilitate resolution when other means have failed.
Horizon Energy is an active member of the Electricity and Gas Complaints Commissioner Scheme and will deal with any complaints in accordance with the Code of Conduct for Complaint Handling (Part C of The Electricity and Gas Complaints Commissioner Scheme document).
