Full-spectrum utilities support
Our teams handle the breadth of energy and utilities customer interactions with the accuracy and empathy your customers deserve.
Billing & Account Enquiries
Handle billing questions, payment arrangements, account updates, and tariff explanations with clarity. Our agents are trained to navigate complex energy billing systems and explain charges in plain language.
Outage & Emergency Support
Rapid response for outage reporting, status updates, and estimated restoration times. We manage high-volume inbound surges during weather events and planned maintenance periods.
Service Requests
New connections, disconnections, meter installations, and plan changes, processed accurately and followed through to completion. Every request tracked end-to-end.
What does an outsourced energy customer service agent cost?
A customer service agent handling billing and account enquiries is typically Tier 2 work: NZ$16.65 or AU$14.00 per worked hour, all-inclusive and excluding GST, which is about NZD $2,542 a month full time. You are billed only for hours actually worked, and a team can start with one person.
Beyond basic call handling
Energy customer service requires sector-specific knowledge. Our teams are trained on energy industry processes, compliance requirements, and regulatory frameworks.
Meter Reading Follow-ups
Outbound campaigns for meter reading confirmations, estimated vs actual billing reconciliation, and smart meter migration support. We keep your data accurate and customers informed.
Retention & Win-back
Proactive save campaigns for customers considering switching providers. Our retention specialists understand energy market dynamics and can present competitive offers effectively.
High-Volume Surge Management
When storms hit or prices change, call volumes spike. Our model lets you add agents as call volumes rise, maintaining service levels when it matters most.
Compliance & Quality
All interactions aligned with Electricity Authority guidelines and consumer protection standards. Regular quality audits, call monitoring, and compliance reporting as standard.

Energy and solar outsourcing, common questions
Real questions NZ and Australian energy retailers, gentailers, and solar providers ask before engaging NexOutsource.
Why is Fiji a good fit for energy and solar customer service?
NexOutsource has supported energy and solar clients across NZ and Australia, including Genesis Energy and solarZero. The Suva team understands utility-grade service: save-team escalations during retention windows, fault and connection triage, billing query handling. Timezone alignment with NZ and Australian working hours is real.
How does NexOutsource handle customer billing and consumption data?
Controls certified under ISO/IEC 27001:2022 cover access management, encryption, and incident response. Customer data stays in your tenant; NexOutsource hardware ships with full-disk encryption; access tokens are scoped per-agent. Most energy-retailer security questionnaires get answered with our existing pack.
Can the team handle save-team and retention work during peak demand?
Yes, this is one of the most common engagement scopes. Save-team work needs empathy, product knowledge, and pricing-tool fluency. We train agents on your tariff stack, retention offer matrix, and escalation paths during onboarding.
What about field-coordinated work like installations and service appointments?
Office-based coordination, scheduling, and customer comms are well-suited to a Fiji team. Field work itself stays onshore. We typically structure the engagement so the Fiji team handles the back-office and customer-comms layer; field teams stay in your local network.
How does the team handle regulatory and compliance-sensitive conversations?
Hardship conversations, complaint handling, and regulator-reportable interactions are SOP-driven during onboarding. Conversations are recorded under ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified controls; compliance officers retain visibility through audit logs and weekly QA samples.
