Power saving bonus set to return

Every Victorian, such as those in Sunbury Macedon Ranges, will be able to access a new round of the $250 Power Saving Bonus.

The state government announced the $250 Power Saving Bonus will be re-opened to all eligible Victorian households from March 25, including those that received payments under previous rounds, when they visit the state governments Victorian Energy Compare website.

“We know 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,” premier Daniel Andrews said.

“We’re driving down bills and putting power back in Victorians’ hands by bringing back the SEC and delivering cheap, clean, sustainable energy.”

Since the current round of the $250 Power Saving Bonus launched on July, 1 2022, more than 1.7 million households have received the cost of living support.

Payment applications can be made through the Victorian Energy Compare website, where customers can quickly and easily find the best energy offers in their areas – potentially saving hundreds of dollars.

Details: compare.energy.vic.gov.au or call 1800 000 832.
