Check if you qualify for £150 energy bill discount

A new deadline has been set for residents who wish to qualify for the state‑backed Energy Assistance Program. Applicants must be listed as a named account holder on their monthly energy bill before the cut‑off date, otherwise their eligibility for the program’s subsidies will be denied. The deadline, announced by the Department of Energy Services, is scheduled for the end of next month.

To meet the requirement, households can update their account information through the utility company’s online portal, by calling customer service, or by submitting a written request to the billing department. The program, which provides monthly rebates to low‑income families and seniors, also requires proof of income and a valid identification document. Applicants who are not currently listed on the bill are encouraged to contact their provider immediately to add their name and secure their place in the assistance queue.

The Department of Energy Services has urged eligible residents to act quickly, noting that the assistance program is funded by a limited annual budget. Failure to be named on the bill before the deadline could result in a loss of financial support for heating and cooling costs. Residents who need help updating their account or who have questions about the application process can call the department’s helpline or visit the official website for guidance.
