Customers do not need to do anything in order to receive the RED payment. Payments will start to appear on bills after 1 May 2025. RED payments are not refundable into a bank account.

 

The Tasmanian Government has announced the 2024-25 Renewable Energy Dividend (RED) payment will be paid to Tasmanian electricity account holders this financial year from 1 May 2025.

The RED is intended to provide cost-of-living relief and ensure Tasmanians share in the state’s renewable energy future.

The Tasmanian Government has committed to a Renewable Energy Dividend of $60 for every Tasmanian electricity residential account holder above and beyond any concessions they already receive.
