• The Miles Labor Government will help Queenslanders with the cost of living through a $1,000 credit on their energy bills.
• It is the biggest cost of living initiative by a state government ever.
• The $1,000 payment will be made on energy bills this year.
• These direct savings for households are made possible because the government has made multinational coal mining companies pay their fair share with progressive coal royalties.

New Premier Steven Miles has announced all Queensland households will receive a $1,000 rebate on their electricity bills from July this year.  

This nearly doubles the $550 electricity rebate that was paid to households this financial year.

The direct return to households recognises the increased pressure on household budgets as a result of growing everyday expenses like mortgage repayments, rent, groceries and fuel.

Eligible seniors, pensioners and concession card holders will receive $1,372 off their power bills.

Queensland Government funded support of $325 off power bills will continue for small businesses.

Upfront $1,000 rebates will be applied to household bills from July, meaning most Queenslanders will not pay a single cent on their first power bill of the next financial year and many won’t pay another bill until 2025.
