Local residents will be able to claim another round of the $250 Power Saving Bonus in late March, even if they have previously received the payment last year.
From 24 March, all eligible Victorian households will be able to claim the payment when they visit the Victorian Energy Compare website.
Premier Daniel Andrews said the government knows Victorians are doing it tough with the rising cost of energy.
“That’s why we’ll have a new round of the $250 Power Saving Bonus, putting money in families’ pockets and making sure they’re on the best deal,” he said.
“We’re driving down bills and putting power back in Victorians’ hands by bringing back the SEC and delivering cheap, clean, sustainable energy.”
Applications for the payment are made through the website, which also offers people the ability to compare energy offers in their area.
Monbulk MP Daniela De Martino said “we’re helping households in the Dandenong Ranges with immediate bill relief through the Power Saving Bonus and driving down the cost of living through our rebates for solar, hot water and Victorian Energy Upgrades program.”
To access the $250 Power Saving Bonus, visit compare.energy.vic.gov.au or call 1800 000 832.
