Acting Energy and Resources Minister Ingrid Stitt launched the fourth round of the bonus, with every Victorian household eligible to receive $250 when they access the Victorian Energy Compare website — even those who received payments under previous rounds.
“Families right across Victoria are facing high costs of living, and this new round of the $250 Power Saving Bonus helps them to pay the bills and make sure they are getting the best deal on their energy,” Ms Stitt said.
“We’re making sure that Victorians facing hardship receive the Power Saving Bonus and get the support they need to access concessions for cheaper power through the Energy Assistance Program.”
Since the $250 Power Saving Bonus launched on July 1, 2022, more than 1.8 million households have received the payment by comparing their energy bills, with thousands finding new, cheaper deals to save money all-year round.
Applications for the payment can be made through the Victorian Energy Compare website, which gives customers access to the best energy offers in their areas, potentially saving hundreds of dollars.
Households needing help to apply can call the Victorian Energy Compare helpline on 1800 000 832 to apply over the phone or be connected by an outreach partner in their community.
