Queensland households will get $1,000 off their electricity bills in 2024–25.

$1,000 will be automatically credited to eligible residential customer bills from 1 July 2024—there is no need to apply. Exact timing will depend on individual billing cycles.

To be eligible, residential customers must have an electricity account with their electricity retailer or embedded network provider on 1 July 2024 and be separately metered and charged for their own electricity consumption.

Seniors, pensioners and concession card holders could get even more through the Queensland Electricity Rebate - ($372)

My energy bill won’t be entirely zero, but it will be pretty damn close.

    I really don’t like rebates, because they’re temporary and it just means the impact next year will be twice as severe.

    It also means companies will up there prices because rebate money means less complaints and defaults on bills so obviously that’s a green flag to up prices.

    Huh, I didn’t realise this was the same link from nearly 12 months ago, referring to the cross-post.

    Also, ABC article for the announcement.
