While the sun rises, your bills stay steady
A simple, more predictable way to power your home. Great energy, great rates.
Your EASY Plan
Easy Plan makes the benefits of solar power more accessible.
From the local solar farm we are building in Central Hawke’s Bay, we will match your estimated annual electricity needs to generation from the farm.
Offered to you as a simplified daily power allocation, there to use, whatever the weather.
Find out how it works in our short video.
How it works
How EASY Plan works for you
We’ll estimate your annual power usage and match it to a portion of the projected output of the solar farm.
Your annual allocation is divided by 365, to provide you a daily power allocation. This is split across two use periods: Evening (6pm–9pm) and Any Other Time.
Unused energy carries over to your Carry Over account, ready to draw on when its needed. And if you need a little more, its available to you at your EASY Plan rates, all tracked in your Carry Over balance.
Typically, your Carry Over should build in summer, when you need less electricity, for use in winter when you need more.
Save energy during the evening between 6pm-9pm and earn more credit in your Carry Over than at any other time.
While the sun rises, your bills stay steady as you’ll pay the same daily amount for your allocation. Any differences in your Carry Over account are settled annually.
What you’ll pay
You’ll pay the same each day for your daily power allocation.
If over the year, you need a little more energy, or use it a little less, that’s no problem. We’ll track it in your Carry Over and settle any differences once a year, or as needed.
Your monthly bill is as easy as:
Number of days
Daily Charge
Invoice
Carry over
In case you’re wondering, nothing gets wasted. If you use less power than your daily allocation, it’ll carry over.
So what you save today, can be used tomorrow, next month or whenever you need it. Over the year, your carry over credit should build over summer for use in winter.
You’ll always know where you’re at, as you’ll get a running tally of your Carry Overs on your monthly invoice.
If you end up needing a little more energy, or use less than your annual allocation, no worries! Over the year, you will only pay for what you’ve used. We’ll track and balance your usage, with any differences settled up once a year, or as needed.
Ways to save
With Lodestone’s EASY Plan you’ll also be rewarded for saving energy between 6pm-9pm.
By making small changes like charging your EV, or doing laundry outside of this time, you’ll earn a higher rate of Carry Over credit than at any other time.
It’s an easy way to get more value from your daily pack or simply save money. Giving you more control.
