The State Government is offering free electricity during off-peak times to Western Australians experiencing financial hardship.
The new Community Energy program will provide free electricity between 9am and 3pm to Synergy customers doing it tough.
The program gives eligible hardship households 10 units of zero-cost electricity in the off-peak times – around three quarters of an average household's daily usage.
When used to its full potential participants can save between $200 to $500 a year as well as the State Government's Household Electricity Credit, which saves eligible hardship customers up to $826 a year.
"We are always looking for ways to help Western Australian families who are doing it tough, and provide additional support to those who need it most," Premier Roger Cook said.
"This new program will save potentially hundreds of dollars for thousands of Western Australians who might be struggling to pay their electricity bills."
To be eligible, financial hardship customers must have an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) meter and not own solar panels on their property.
