The final of three energy credits worth €200 each will be paid in the coming weeks as the cost of living crisis continues to burden many people.
The government announced the support scheme in Budget 2023 measures, in the hope of easing the rising cost of living for households nationwide. 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 2023 (first installment)
- 31 March 2023 (second installment)
- 31 May 2023 (third installment)
