Cabinet is set to sign off on a new Energy Poverty Action Plan.
It will include a further €10 million for the energy hardship fund, which is used to help people who can't pay their bills.
People can apply for the fund through MABS, St Vincent De Paul, or Alone with energy suppliers providing advice and help.
People will also be directed to their local social welfare office for things like the additional needs payment.
The €10 million will also be used to help people on pay as you go meters who are at risk of energy debt.
