Power companies are being forced to pay compensation to Victorians affected by last month's blackouts, with payments up to $180 depending on how long a household went without electricity.
As part of the $5 million package, announced on Sunday, around 50,000 households who lost power on January 28 will receive a one-off payments.
Energy Minister Lily D'Ambrosio said $180 would be given to those without power for between 20 and 30 hours, while those affected for between three and 20 hours would receive $80.
