How to calculate the amount you will receive
To calculate the amount of aid per beneficiary, initially the amount of aid is calculated for each domestic electricity bill issued in the period between December 1, 2021 and May 31, 2022.
The amount of the aid per electricity bill is calculated as 60% of the positive balance obtained after deducting from the amount of the bill adjustment clause the discount amounts:
a) granted by the special account named “Energy Transition Fund” of article sixty-one of Law 4839/2021 and
b) which has already been granted by the electricity suppliers on the energy consumption of the account.
In the event that the bill does not concern a variable electricity supply tariff that is adjusted based on the wholesale electricity purchase price, the applicant is not entitled to receive aid. Also, in the event that the bill does not concern a provision for household use, the applicant is not entitled to receive aid.
