The Victorian Labor Government has announced a new $250 (US$176.4) one-off payment for all Victorian households as part of the new Power Saving Bonus program for energy bills.
“This is a great opportunity for Victorians to save money, ease the cost of living, and cut their energy bills,”  the Premier of Victoria Daniel Andrews said.
Under this $250 million (US$176.4 million) program, all Victorian households will be eligible to apply for a $250 bill slashing bonus if they seek out a better energy deal on the Victorian Energy Compare website.
“Big power companies rely on people not having the time, information or knowledge to save money. But we know better deals are out there—and we’re helping Victorian families find them,” he said on May 2.
