Resources to support those experiencing energy hardship

Stronger protections are now available to households having trouble paying their energy bills.

Energy retailers have important responsibilities in helping vulnerable customers. The Guideline requires energy retailers to provide consistent minimum standards of assistance, ensure hardship programs are easily accessible and put processes in place to identify customers who may need help.
