More energy bill relief for businesses

The second instalment of energy bill relief is now flowing to businesses across South Australia, providing vital support in the lead up to Christmas.

The South Australian Government committed $127.2 million for the National Energy Bill Relief Plan, matched dollar for dollar by the Australian Government, providing energy bill rebates of up to $650 for 86,000 eligible small businesses.

In further welcome news for small businesses, the South Australian Government has also extended the $650 energy bill reduction to thousands of additional businesses on embedded networks, such as retailers in shopping centres, from early next year. This expansion will increase the number of small businesses that can now access the scheme by several thousand.

Energy retailers are now applying reductions to energy bills for the second quarter of the 2023-24 billing year.
