The National Energy Bill Relief is helping NSW small businesses save up to $325 on the rising energy cost this financial year.
Small businesses in NSW are eligible for a Bill Relief payment of up to $325 if they:
- have an active Australian Business Number (ABN)
- are named on the electricity bill or account
- are on a separately metered business tariff
- have an annual electricity consumption below 100 MWh.
Most small businesses will receive their Bill Relief payment automatically from their electricity provider in quarterly instalments of $81.25 on their electricity bill from 31 July 2024, 1 October 2024, 1 January 2025 and 1 April 2025. You do not need to apply. Check your electricity bill and if you have not received the Bill Relief payment, contact your electricity provider directly.
Small businesses in embedded networks
If your small business is in an embedded network, such as some shopping centres, you may need to apply for the Bill Relief payment.
