According to the government energy rebate, the owner must deduct 200 euro electricity bills from the tenant.

Most of the 300,000 tenants registered with the RTB have household electricity accounts and the payment will be applied directly to those accounts. However, in the event of "disputes" from landlords who do not pay the rebate from the bill, tenants can seek the assistance of the RTB.

If the owner does not apply the electricity rebate for the March and April electricity bills, which apply to 200 euro electricity bills, tenants can file a lawsuit with the RTB.

“Some tenants will have rental agreements, where the tenants will pay the actual share of each electricity bill, in which case they will benefit from this payment because the amount of the bill will be less than the amount of the payment. There will be other adjustments for a smaller ratio so that the cost of electricity is part of the rental cost, ”said Minister Ryan.

With the support of the Department of Housing and Local Government, my department is conducting a public information campaign with RTB to ensure that all tenants are aware of this plan. "Disputes with tenants, including terms related to electricity payments, can be brought to the RTB for dispute resolution," Environment Minister Emon Ryan said in response to a question from Parliament.

The 200 euro electricity rebate has been increased from the initial 100 euros, which will apply to electricity billing cycles in March and April. This will apply to all household electricity accounts in the country and will include prepaid customers.

If the bills are less than 200 euros, the rest of the credit will be applied to next month's bill, said Public Expenditure Reform Minister Michael McGrath.
