The WA Household Electricity Credit will be automatically applied to every Synergy or Horizon Power residential account as of today.
In a move that will no doubt be welcomed by many due to the hardship of the COVID-19 pandemic, every household in Western Australia will receive a historic, one-off $600 Household Electricity Credit. The WA Household Electricity Credit will be automatically applied to every Synergy or Horizon Power residential account as of today.
The credit will be on your bill in November and December providing a much-needed financial boost as it’ll mean WA families have a bit of extra money available in the lead up to Christmas.
In a statement on his Mark McGowan’s Facebook page, he states the $600 credit is fully funded through the recent Bell Group settlement, for the losses incurred in the Bell Group collapse in the early 1990s.It made sense that these funds go straight back to Western Australians.
“But I have a request: If this credit means you can spend some extra money, use it to support our local WA businesses. By spending local, you’ll be helping to support WA jobs, support your fellow West Aussies, and keep WA safe and strong.” Mr McGowan.
