About this desk
What the regional series means
The Electricity Authority’s EMI RegionalPowerPrices file reports indicative monthly costs for low- and standard-user profiles in network-reporting regions. Younivi republishes the values without altering them and labels the source date so the chart is not mistaken for a live quote.
Use with care
Wholesale, retail and this view
Wholesale spot prices, advertised retail tariffs and sales-based household costs answer different questions. This first release uses EMI’s regional retail-cost dataset only; it does not estimate a wholesale-to-household pass-through or rank retailers.
