NSW’s small businesses to receive energy bill relief

More than 300,000 small businesses in NSW will start receiving power bill rebates from today (31 July) as the state government fulfils its election promise to deliver energy price relief.

Eligible small businesses using less than 100 megawatt hours of electricity per year will receive $650 towards their electricity bills.

Eligible small business retail customers don’t need to do anything as their retailer will apply the energy bill relief to their electricity account from 31 July 2023 in quarterly instalments.

Small businesses that are part of an embedded network (for example, located in a shopping centre) will be able to apply from October 2023.

“We’re taking the edge off rising power bills for 320,000 small businesses across NSW,” says NSW Premier Chris Minns.

“Power bill relief for business means cost-of-living relief for all of us. That’s a good thing for families and households.”
