When Will the Rebates Be Disbursed?
U-Save rebates are credited every quarter, usually during the following months:
- January
- April
- July
- October
In 2025, the first payout began in January, with the next round expected in July 2025. The amount will appear as a deduction in your monthly SP utility bill, so there’s no action required from you.
How Will You Receive the Rebates?
The U-Save rebate is not paid in cash. Instead, the amount is credited directly to your household’s utility account with SP Group. It will appear as a deduction in your bill, which reduces the out-of-pocket cost of your monthly utilities.
If your bill is lower than the rebate amount, the unused rebate will be rolled over to the following month.
