Make the Simple Shift to Smarter Energy
Powerco and EECA have launched the A Simple Shift flexibility trial in Ōmokoroa — helping households use energy in smarter ways, without changing daily routines.
As an approved supplier and installer, Rheem® offers eligible homeowners smart hot water and solar solutions designed to support the trial and unlock potential incentives.
What is a Simple Shift?
A Simple Shift is about using electricity at more practical times of the day without changing your daily routine. With the help of smart technology, your home can:
- Heat earlier in the day so it’s warm when you arrive
- Store energy to use during peak times
- Automatically adjust when certain appliances run.
Why make the switch? Depending on how your home is set up, you could benefit from:
- Lower energy costs by shifting usage to off-peak times
- Access to installation incentives on eligible technology
- Greater visibility of how your home uses energy
- A more future-ready home with flexible, connected systems
