About the amount
A monthly on-bill credit scaled to household size and income. See the official eligibility table for current amounts.
What to know
The credit is applied directly to your electricity bill rather than paid out, and the amount increases with household size and decreases with income. You reapply periodically, so an expired enrolment is a common reason people quietly stop receiving it.
Documents you'll likely need
- Recent electricity bill with account number
- Income information for everyone in the household
