A re-elected NSW Liberal and Nationals Government will slash energy bills by $250 and help households unlock up to $400 in further savings by switching to a better deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The NSW Energy Bill Saver program will allow households to receive $250 off their energy bills by simply comparing their current energy deal. They could also unlock up to $400 in further savings by switching energy plans to a lower deal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Premier Dominic Perrottet said the Liberal and Nationals will deliver energy bill relief to hardworking NSW families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe know households are feeling the pinch right now and that\u2019s why we will provide immediate bill relief as well as help families get a better energy deal,\u201d Mr Perrottet said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is $250 in short-term energy savings whilst at the same time ensuring NSW households can slash their bills into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is all part of the Liberal and Nationals long-term economic plan to support NSW families and keep our state moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said the initiative will offer much-welcomed relief for families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis program isn\u2019t just for today, it\u2019s a simple way families right across NSW can save money long-term, by assessing their provider,\u201d Mr Toole said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe hard-working people of NSW deserve to keep more of their hard-earned money and this initiative will help develop habits which will go well beyond the $250 payment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NSW Treasurer Matt Kean said this instant energy bill relief was part of a broader Liberal and Nationals focus on cheap and clean power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are modernising the energy system with a landmark $32 billion roadmap that will turbocharge the transition and deliver cheap energy for generations to come,\u201d Mr Kean said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNSW Labor is putting that at risk, focusing on the election rather than electrons, and Labor\u2019s talk of nationalising the network is a \u2018lights out\u2019 policy that will spook the industry and drive up prices.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eligibility will be open to every household in NSW, including existing rebate recipients. The comparison tool will be provided by Service NSW and households will still receive $250 off their energy bill even if they don\u2019t switch plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Households are encouraged to shop around for a better deal right now by heading to the Energy Made Easy<\/a> website. Switching providers between now and 1 July won’t prevent households from being eligible for the $250 if they search again when the program launches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Up to two million households are expected to take up this program, with the Liberals and Nationals committing $500 million to the NSW Energy Bill Saver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The NSW Energy Bill Saver will be available from 1 July through to 31 December 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A re-elected NSW Liberal and Nationals Government will slash energy bills by $250 and help households unlock up to $400 in further savings by switching to a better deal.
