Consumer: What's happening to small power retailers?
Nine To Noon - A podcast by RNZ

Nine to Noon looks at what's happening in the power sector, as smaller retailers get swallowed by the bigger players in the market. This month Flick said goodbye to its customers, as the company was taken over by Meridian. In June it was announced Frank Energy was being absorbed into its parent company Genesis, and the fate of Ecotricity - also owned by Genesis since last November - is unclear. Both Frank and Flick topped Consumer's power company customer satisfaction survey. Kathryn speaks with Consumer's Jon Duffy about what the changes mean for competition for our power dollar. He'll also talk about what's going with pricing in supermarket aisles, now Consumer's Price it Right petition has been handed over to government.
