ELECTRICITY COSTS EMERGENCY BENEFIT SCHEME II

From Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications 

Published on 17 December 2021

Last updated on 29 December 2022

 

On 27 September the Government approved the Electricity Costs Emergency Benefit
Scheme II, paving the way for three payments of €183.49 (excl. VAT) to be
credited to all domestic electricity accounts. This is in recognition of
pressures on households due to the exceptional rise in energy prices. Three
payments of the Electricity Costs Emergency Benefit Payment will be made, in the
November/December 2022, January/February and March/April 2023 billing cycles.

The credit will be applied directly to your bank account. Households need only
apply for it once. They do not need to contact their electricity supplier.

The Commission for the Regulation of Utilities (CRU) will be charged with
oversight of the scheme. The scheme will be operated by the Distribution System
Operator (ESB Networks) because of its existing interface with all electricity
suppliers. ESB Networks will make payments to energy suppliers direclty to your
bank, who in turn will credit each of their domestic electricity accounts.
