Entirely missing from the article:

1. What was the KW/H consumption (and rate)?
2. What was their bill (KW/H and amount) for the same month in
previous years?

My electricity costs are rising, but that is in part because of
increasing consumption and in part because of increased unit pricing.
So my bill may be greater this year event if prices per KW/H were
reduced.

Consumption rates as well as unit pricing are critical to
understanding the problem, but only unit pricing is indirectly covered
in this article. How is this considered an acceptable level of
accuracy in reporting this issue?

It is not acceptable reporting.
RNZ continuse to show a huge bias and are following the example by Stuff and others of only sensational reports.
I miss the old fashioned reporting with opinions clearly differentiated from facts and an intention to allow the reader to judge.
What we have today ia amateur garbage. No wonder people are flocking to non-traditional "news" providers.
