As temperatures begin to drop and Canterbury farmers prepare for the 2025 season, it’s the perfect time to reassess your energy needs. With electricity rates increasing across all providers from 1 April, simply sending us your latest power bill for a comparison could ensure you’re on the most competitive energy rate this season.

At Ruralco Energy, our service is built on simplicity, transparency, and an understanding of the specific demands within the rural sector. We recognise that farming businesses operate differently, and we’re here to make energy easy—whether it’s for the dairy shed, the family home, or anything in between.

We also take the hassle out of administration by ensuring all electricity charges are billed through your Ruralco account, helping consolidate your expenses.

With access to a network of trusted energy merchants who accept the Ruralco Credit Card, you have flexibility and convenience at your fingertips. We can help guide you in exploring options that suit your home or farm, including utilising alternative energy sources such as solar power and LPG.

“At Ruralco, our purpose is to lower your farm input costs, and our loyalty lies with our members. Every dollar saved on your energy bill is a dollar kept in the local economy,” says Tony Aitken, Ruralco CEO.
