Drought Relief from Electricity Charges (QLD)

Drought Relief from Electricity Charges Scheme provides drought-declared farming businesses with relief from supply charges on electricity accounts that are used to pump water for farm or irrigation purposes.

Waivers or reimbursements of supply charges on all relevant electricity accounts are available.

Financial assistance is available to account holders who do not have access to, or have severely restricted access to, farm or irrigation water in drought-declared areas, or properties that have been individually drought-declared.
