Who is eligible for the Free Electricity Allowance?

The Department of Social Protection has a number of qualifying conditions for eligibility for the Free Electricity Allowance.

Please Note: From 8th September 2025 due to a change in the Department of Social Protection Free Electricity Allowance Policy - the option of Free Electricity Allowance payments made directly to the utility bill is no longer available. 

Please refer to the Department of Social Protection Website for information on how to apply for the Free Electricity Allowance.
