All households to get a €125 energy credit this year and another next year

Households will see €250 in total taken off their energy bills.

LAST UPDATE | 1 Oct

HOUSEHOLDS WILL RECEIVE two €125 energy credits as part of this year’s Budget. 

One will be paid before the end of this year and one next year. 

The move was announced today by Public Expenditure Minister Paschal Donohoe as part of Budget 2025. 

In addition to this, a further €300 lump sum will be made to recipients of the fuel allowance this November. 

This year’s Budget includes a whopping €2bn cost-of-living package. 

As part of this, an additional €200 will be paid to recipients of the living alone allowance. 

Meanwhile, there will be a €400 payment to those who receive the carer’s support grant, the disability allowance, the blind pension, the invalidity pension and the domiciliary care allowance. All of these will be paid this November.
