There's more power pain to come next year - as Kiwi households can expect a slight increase to their bills come April.
The Commerce Commission has warned the average power bill will go up by $10, and there's room for additional increases to come.
Commissioner Vhari McWha says additional funding is needed to create a safe and reliable power network.
"For Transpower in particular, some of their assets are quite old and they need to be replaced - and some of them are less old and they'll be maintaining those."
