Heard of the 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲? It offers eligible households $110 credit directly onto their power bill.  It was created by the energy sector to support households doing it tough and impacted by the phase-out of the low fixed charge on electricity bills.

You may be eligible if:
✅your household is experiencing energy hardship, and
✅you are, or have been, on a low fixed charge electricity tariff within the last 6 months, and
✅you're with one of these participating electricity retailers: Contact, Meridian, Mercury, Genesis, Nova, Wise, Globug or Powershop.

The scheme has been extended until 2032. It’s funded by electricity lines companies like us and participating retailers who together contribute $1 million each year to help ease the pressure of rising energy costs.

🔍 To find out if you're eligible, contact your electricity retailer.
