Exact date final €200 electricity credit will be paid amid cost of living crisis

The final energy credit worth €200 to households across Ireland will be given out very soon as the cost of living crisis continues to burden many people..

The government brought in the support scheme as part of Budget 2023 measures, hoping to ease the rising cost of living for households nationwide.

In September it was confirmed that officials would be giving out €600 of free electricity credit to every household in Ireland in the form of three separate credits of €200.

The first was paid out back in November and the second was received this month as energy bills continue to skyrocket.

Now, the date of the third has been confirmed and customers can expect to see it on their energy accounts between 1 March 2023 and 30 April 2023.

The date you get your credit will depend on when your supplier typically sends you your bill.

Individual suppliers will have more information on their websites about the dates the credit will show on customers’ bills.

If you are a PrePay customer, you can expect to receive a top-up code directly from your supplier.

Everyone who pays electricity bills in Ireland is entitled to the support as long as you are registered with an electricity supplier in the Republic of Ireland.

You are eligible for the credit if you are registered on the effective dates as either:

• Urban domestic customer (classified as DG1)
• Rural domestic customers (classified as DG2)

Suppliers will have information on their websites about the dates the credit showed on their customers’ bills.

Contact your electricity supplier if you do not receive your credit by:

• 31 January 20232 (first installment)
• 31 March 2023 (second installment)
• 31 May 2023 (third installment)
