Plans for every flicker

Flat power plan

On our Flat plan, you'll get a price that stays the same, day and night. If you like to set and forget with a consistent price each and every day, this is the plan for you.

Why choose Flat?

Life’s unpredictable but your power bill doesn’t have to be. Flat is our simple pricing plan bringing you steady power prices so that you can switch off and let your power do its thing.

With Flat, you’re free to use your power when you want to (no clock-watching here) - the kWh price you’ll pay is the same, no matter the time or day of the week. And because fairness is what we stand for, you’ll get the benefits of fair pricing, and no fixed-term contracts or exit fees. Simple, stress-free… sorted.

This plan is for you if:

  • You’re a ‘keep it simple’ kinda person and predictable bills are your thing.

  • You tend to use most of your power during peak times (7am-11am and 5pm-9pm on weekdays, except in Christchurch where it's 7am-9pm on weekdays) and you’d find it hard to shift your usage to take advantage of off-peak pricing.

  • You don’t want to have to think about what times or days you’re using power.

How Flat works:

  • Pay a fair flat rate for your power all day, every day

  • Keep track of your usage and your power bills on your Flick Customer Dashboard

  • Pick billing and payment options that work for you - you’re in charge

Same price, all the time

Flat and fabulous with Bill Smoother.

Flat’s predictable pricing is even better alongside Bill Smoother. Control what you pay each week by rounding up your power bills to an amount of your choice, and stash some cash for higher bills at the same time.

How do I pay my bill with Flick?

For Weekly billing we’ll send your bill each Tuesday and take your payment on Thursday via Direct Debit from your bank account or Credit Card.

For Fortnightly billing we’ll send your bill every other Tuesday and take your payment on Thursday that week via Direct Debit from your bank account or Credit Card.

For Monthly billing your bill will be available on the second Monday of each month, and we'll take payment ten days later on the Thursday via Direct Debit from your bank account or Credit Card.

You can choose to pay your exact bill amount, or open a Bill Smoother account (aka Volt) and rounding your payments up to an amount of your choice.

By paying a little more than your normal bill amount, you'll build up a wee stash of cash that you can then use to automatically knock the top off a higher than normal bill.
