Help with energy bills

HOUSEHOLDS needing help to pay their energy bills will be able to access more financial support during the Covid lockdown.

The Energy Accounts Payments Assistance (EAPA) assessment threshold has been temporarily increased with the maximum limit of vouchers per household now totalling $1,600. “Don’t hesitate if you need bill support, register for an energy voucher assessment,” Energy Minister Matt Kean said. EAPA representatives can also help customers to contact their energy retailers to get customers onto hardship plans. To find out more about the savings and other rebates, visit energysaver.nsw.gov.au
