National failing families on power prices The current National government has failed to make changes that would reduce Kiwi families power bills and stood by while power prices continue to skyrocket, Green Party energy spokesperson Gareth Hughes said today.Residential power prices have risen by 20% under National, a $360 a year increase for a typical family, and are set to increase even more with large price increases being announced across the country.The Green Party has announced a suite of Energy Freedom policies that will reduce families' power bills: NZ Power with Progressive Pricing, more funding for home insulation, an end to fixed daily lines charges, and Solar Homes. Further announcements are planned."National is sitting on its hands as power bills skyrocket.
