INGLEWOOD and Wedderburn residents are leading the way in Loddon as they compare energy prices and get a $250 State Government bonus.
Data released by the Government last week showed there had been 177 claims in Wedderburn and 158 in Inglewood for the fourth round of the Power Saving Bonus.
They are among more than one million Victorians taking up the Government initiative to help ease cost of living pressures.
Premier Daniel Andrews said: “The best way to lower energy bills is to look for a better offer – that’s why we’re encouraging Victorians to take advantage of another round of the Power Saving Bonus to make sure they are on the best deal ahead of winter.”
The latest round of the program has seen 40 per cent of applicants find a better energy deal – with thousands of Victorians choosing to switch and save by changing their energy deal through the Victorian Energy Compare website.
The Victorian Energy Compare website is an independent comparison website, making it easy for Victorians to find a cheaper offer and keeping big energy retailers in check.
According to the Government, more than 17,000 households have received the $250 Power Saving Bonus through a community outreach partner, with 73 per cent of these applicants receiving additional energy affordability advice.
Across the Loddon and adjoining districts, take-up of the energy price comparison has been:
