A $400 electricity credit from the government may seem like a small gesture, but the relief it has brought to residents and small business owners is immense. Cost-of-living pressures can be challenging, especially in these uncertain times. The electricity credit represents the Western Australian Government's unwavering commitment to the well-being of their people. It shows that the government is not only listening to the concerns of its constituents but that they are taking action to support them. 

Automatic Aid for Synergy and Horizon Power Customers

For those connected with Synergy or Horizon Power, the road to receiving this credit is paved with ease. Eligible accounts will see a split payment of $200 arriving in late July and another in December 2024. This seamless process ensures that the benefits reach the people with no extra steps required on their part.

Expanding the Horizon of Eligibility

But the reach of this initiative extends beyond the direct customers of Synergy and Horizon Power. Those who receive their electricity through other providers, including embedded network supply arrangements, won't be left in the dark. Arrangements are being made to shine the light of this $400 credit on their accounts too, ensuring a broad spectrum of the community can bask in the relief it offers.

Staying Informed and Prepared

Details about how to claim this benefit, for those not automatically covered, will soon illuminate the official websites of both Synergy and Horizon Power. Information will also be made available through the Department of Finance (RevenueWA) and the Small Business Development Corporation, guiding all eligible parties on how to access this much-appreciated financial support.
