ANOTHER $250 is on offer to people who compare energy plans.
The latest round of the state government’s “power saving bonus” program opened last week. People who compare energy plans using the Victorian Energy Compare website will receive $250, even if they have already claimed the cash bonus previously.
The state government says that 1.8 million Victorian households have received a $250 payment so far by comparing energy bills. Acting minister for energy and resources Ingrid Stitt said that the program is helping with cost of living pressures.
“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,” she 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.”
