Power Bills Got You Feeling Zapped? Territory Relief to the Rescue!

Feeling the pinch of rising energy costs? If you live in the Northern Territory, there's some good news on the horizon! Both the Federal and Northern Territory Governments are joining forces to bring you much-needed relief on your power bills.

Imagine saving up to $1,500 on your power bill this year! That's the average expected benefit for Territory households thanks to a combined effort. Here's the breakdown:

• Federal Government's Helping Hand: A $300 credit directly applied to your bill.

• Territory Government's CSO Support:  The Community Service Obligation (CSO) helps subsidize utility costs for residents.

This combined effort translates to significant savings, making a real difference in household budgets.

Running a small business in the Territory? You're not left out! The combined government support translates to estimated average savings of over $2,500 on your power bill this year. This includes:

• Federal Government's Support: A $325 credit specifically for small businesses.

• Territory Government's CSO: Similar to households, small businesses benefit from the CSO's utility cost subsidies.

The Northern Territory Government recognizes that energy bills are just one piece of the cost-of-living puzzle. That's why they're investing in a variety of initiatives beyond just energy relief. This comprehensive approach aims to ease the financial burden on Territorians in various aspects of their lives.

Did you know storing solar power can save you even more money? The Home and Business Battery Scheme offers significant savings on battery purchases, potentially up to $5,000! Plus, installing a battery can further reduce your annual power bill by around $900. This scheme empowers Territorians to take control of their energy consumption and save even more in the long run.

The Northern Territory Minister for Essential Services and Sport, Kate Worden, emphasizes the government's commitment to tackling the cost-of-living challenges faced by Territorians. "We've invested over $200 million in cost-of-living support for both households and small businesses," Ms. Worden said. "We're working hand-in-hand with the Federal Government to ensure this additional power bill relief reaches Territorians starting from July 1st."

This collaborative effort between the Federal and Territory Governments, combined with other cost-of-living initiatives, demonstrates a strong commitment to making life more affordable for Territorians.
