Powering people,
not just businesses

At Reliance Utilities, we believe energy isn’t just about numbers on a bill—it’s about warmth, wellbeing, and the people behind every switch. Warm Kiwis is our way of giving back, supporting families doing it tough with the care they deserve.

Because no one should have to choose between staying warm and making ends meet.

What is Warm Kiwis?

Warm Kiwis is our new community care initiative, focused on providing real relief—right when it’s needed most.

Every year, we’ll fully cover 3 months of power bills for 5 New Zealand households facing financialhardship. No costs. No catch. Just dignity, empathy, and the power to stay warm.

$0 power bill for 3 months.

$0 profit.

Just energy with heart.

Who can enter?

If you or someone you know is doing it tough this winter, we’d love to hear your story. Whether it’s a friend, a neighbour, a whānau member, or even yourself—everyone deserves the chance to feel supported.
