How to pay your power bill 

We offer a variety of payment options so you can choose the most convenient option for your home. 

SmoothPay  

SmoothPay spreads your electricity payments evenly throughout the year, so you pay the same amount for your power bill each month.

How it works

We will calculate your electricity costs over a year, and divide this into weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments – you can choose the frequency that is best for your home.

You will still receive a bill each month (electronic or in the mail), so you can keep track of your energy usage and payments.

On the agreed payment day, we will deduct the payment amount from your bank account by direct debit. 

We will review your account 3 months after you have been set up on Smooth Pay to check your regular payments are in line with the amount of energy you are using. If your payments need to be adjusted, we will give you at least 10 days’ notice before a new payment amount is deducted from your bank account.

We will then review your account periodically to ensure you are paying the correct amount for your home based on your usage.

Setting up your SmoothPay

Please email customer.care@pioneerenergyretail.co.nz and our Customer Care Team will help you work out what your payments will be.

New Zealand Post

Visit any New Zealand PostShop and you can choose to pay your bill by cash or EFTPOS. You will need to take your Pioneer Energy Retail bill with the attached barcode remittance slip with you. The PostShop will use the barcode on your bill to locate your account.

Automatic Payment

You can choose to pay a fixed amount by setting up a monthly automatic payment with your bank. If there’s still an amount owing when you receive your bill, simply pay the outstanding balance by the due date. Automatic payments can be setup by using your bank’s internet banking facilities or obtaining an automatic payment form from your bank.

Internet Banking

Log on to your bank’s Internet banking service on or before the due date of your bill, and pay the amount shown on your bill.

If you would like to set up your credit card to automatically pay your bill on the due date each month please print, complete and post the Credit Card Payment Authority Form below to Pioneer Energy Retail, PO Box 10044, Auckland 1446.

It can take up to 14 working days to set up an automatic credit card payment. You must continue to pay your energy bill using your usual payment method until you are notified that your Credit Card Authority Form has been processed and set up. Notification that your credit card will be used to process the payment will appear on your first bill payable by this method.

Once setup, the total amount of your bill will be charged to your Visa or MasterCard each month on the payment due date. 

You can always call us up to two days before a bill is due, if you would like to cancel your credit card payment authority.

BNZ Branch

You can pay your bill by making a deposit into Pioneer Energy Retail’s bank account at your nearest BNZ Branch.

All it takes is a few easy steps:

Fill out a blank deposit slip and remember to put your Account Number in the reference section on the deposit slip. Your Pioneer Energy Retail Account Number can be located at the top right hand corner of your bill.
