The Victorian State Government has announced a $250 payment to households if they use the Energy Compare Website to look for better energy deals.
The payment will be included in the 2022/2023 state budget, a part of the $250 million program. From 1 July, any Victorian household who use the Victorian Energy Compare website will be able to receive the payment.
Premier Daniel Andrews said it was a great opportunity for Victorians to save money, ease the cost of living and cut their energy bills.
“Big power companies rely on people not having the time, information or knowledge to save money,” he said.
“But we know better deals are out there and we’re helping Victorian families find them.”
Victorians who don’t have access to the internet can call the Victorian energy compare helpline or receive support from community outreach partners.
Previous recipients of the $50 or $250 Power Saving Bonus will be eligible for the new one-off payment when it opens in July.
