Minister of Human Services and Social Security Dr Vindhya Persaud recently reminded pensioners that the electricity subsidy is applied directly to their GPL accounts once registered in their names.
Eligible pensioners should see the $30,000 credit reflected on their GPL bills commencing June 2026. Persons who qualify but do not see the credit reflected are encouraged to visit the nearest GPL office for assistance.
The minister also urged pensioners to review their water bills to ensure they are receiving the applicable subsidy through GWI.
The electricity and water subsidies form part of the government’s ongoing commitment to improving the quality of life of senior citizens and easing the cost of living for pensioners throughout Guyana. (Department of Public Information)
