Am I eligible for a rebate?

Manawa Trust, formerly TECT Community Trust, does not administer electricity rebates. 

TECT Consumer Trust is a separate organisation and will continue to coordinate electricity rebate payments to eligible beneficiaries in Tauranga and the Western Bay of Plenty until 2050.
