About

Who is Just Energy?

The company is headquartered in Auckland, where it bases its senior management, customer operations and regulatory functions.

Just Energy was established in 2010. A longer track record means more years operating under New Zealand's regulatory framework and a wider history of customer feedback, billing systems and grid relationships.

Just Energy is part of the Pulse Energy Alliance LP group, which provides shared governance, financial backing and a broader pool of expertise.

The company is based in New Zealand and is regulated by the Electricity Authority and the Commerce Commission.

Common questions

The Selectra expert answers your questions about Just Energy

Just Energy is one of New Zealand's licensed electricity retailers, regulated by the Electricity Authority. Whether it is the right fit for your household depends on your usage profile, region, and the rates available on the plans listed above. Always compare your quoted price against several other retailers based on your address and 12-month consumption before you switch.

Switching to Just Energy is usually completed within a few days, up to a regulated maximum of 10 working days, and your power supply is never interrupted. Sign up online with your address and ICP number (printed on any past power bill). Just Energy will handle the transfer with your current retailer, including the final reading.

New Zealand consistently runs one of the greenest grids in the OECD: around 80% to 90% of grid electricity comes from renewable sources (hydro, geothermal, wind), with recent full-year figures sitting above 85% and individual quarters occasionally exceeding 95%. Some retailers (notably Mercury and Meridian) market themselves as 100% renewable. Check the plan badges above — offers tagged green energy are sold as renewable-only.

Most NZ electricity plans have no exit fees on open-term contracts. Fixed-term plans may include a break fee if you switch before the term ends. The "Exit fees" line on each plan card above shows the current policy.

You can reach Just Energy by phone at 0508 587 836, Mon–Fri 8am–5pm (excluding public holidays). Most retailers also offer in-app support, web chat and an online help centre — see the Account & app section above.
