Victorians have two more weeks to apply for the current $250 Power Saving Bonus payment from the state government. 7NEWS
The Power Saving Bonus is open to all eligible Victorian households, including those who have received payments under previous rounds.
“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,” Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said in a statement in March.“We’re driving down bills and putting power back in Victorians’ hands by bringing back the SEC and delivering cheap, clean, sustainable energy.
In June, Minister for Energy and Resources Lily D’Ambrosio said more than 1.5 million households applied for the $250 bonus within the first three months of the program opening.
