Be in to WIN a year’s free power for your primary residence just by uploading a bill from your current power company to our Savings Estimate webpage. The winner will be drawn on Monday 11 December 2023. The winner will need to be a Powershop customer by Friday 15 December 2023 to redeem the prize.
By entering the competition, you agree to the following terms and conditions.
The Prize
Subject to these terms and conditions, the winner will receive for free electricity used at their primary residence between 1 January 2024 and 31 December 2024 (Free Year).
We’ll apply to the winner’s Powershop account an amount of credit equal to the Electricity Charges associated with the Free Year as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each billing period. Electricity Charges means the winner’s daily charges, usage charges, goods and services tax and the Electricity Authority levy (excluding special service charges or fees), provided that, if during the Free Year, the winner buys any Powerpacks (excluding Future Packs for any month after January 2025 (inclusive)) and that Powerpack:
- was not paid for at the time of purchase, we’ll credit to the winner’s Powershop account an amount equal to the price of the Powerpack for the relevant amount of electricity covered by the Powerpack; and
- was paid for by the winner at the time of purchase, we will refund to the winner the price of that Powerpack as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each billing period.
The prize is valued at $2184, which is based on the projected median amount Powershop customers will spend on their main home over the 12-month period from November 2023 to October 2024. If, at the end of the Free Year the winner remains a Powershop customer and the winner’s total Electricity Charges for the Free Year are less than $2184, we will apply to the winner’s Powershop account an amount of credit equal to the difference.
