It had wrongly offered huge discounts to its customers. After it discovered the mistake, the Company was trying for cover up these mistakes.

A stuff-up of major sizes has seen Mercury Energy present radically discounted power to a great number of businesses in Dunedin that the corporation says was in fact meant for Dannevirke.

Mercury issued an act of contrition yesterday for the crusade, which started with cold calls to Dunedin businesses in the most recent month, the Otago Daily Times reported.

New Zealand's third largest power retailer Mercury Energy is ditching its expansion plans adding that revised electricity bill by the government would create unacceptable risks and uncertainties at every level that could eclipse its profitability.

Terming the reforms as a blow to competition, James Munro, the General Manager of Consumer Market added, "We're just not sure if these series of reforms are going to encourage competition."
