Households with traditional prepayment meters were eligible to receive vouchers by text, email, or post, which can be redeemed at a Post Office or PayPoint shop.
The deadline to redeem the vouchers is June 30, 2023, and those who have not claimed their vouchers are urged to do so before the deadline.
The scheme is aimed at helping those who are struggling with the cost of living during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Energy Bills Support Scheme provided £400 to eligible households in the form of vouchers to help with their energy bills.
However, millions of pounds in vouchers remain unclaimed, particularly by prepayment customers who are often among the most vulnerable.
The NEA is urging these customers to contact their electricity supplier as soon as possible to claim their vouchers, as the money could be crucial for keeping their energy supply on during the summer.
