A Genesis-commissioned survey reveals New Zealand households are increasingly impacted by rising energy costs, leading to changes in lifestyle such as reduced driving and lower hot water temperatures. Many are even postponing holiday plans due to financial strain. Despite these adjustments, the survey found most New Zealanders are unaware of the potential savings achievable by switching to electricity for transportation and home energy needs. In response, Genesis is supporting a petition to ban incandescent light bulbs, promoting a more energy-efficient alternative. The company believes this ban will contribute to lowered energy consumption and reduced household expenses. This initiative highlights a growing focus on energy efficiency and finding solutions to mitigate the impact of rising costs on New Zealand families. Genesis hopes to empower consumers with the knowledge and tools to make cost-effective energy choices.
