In addition to the heating allowance, there is a support policy specifically for natural gas. It will have the same characteristics as support for electricity.
Assurances that the citizens who use natural gas will be strengthened as its price is 10 or even 12 times higher, was provided by the government representative Giannis Oikonomou speaking to SKAI 100.3 radio and Dimitris Oikonomou and Akis Pavlopoulos.
He explained that the use of natural gas is included in the heating allowance, but beyond that, there will also be a support policy specifically for gas.
Consumer assistance will have the same characteristics as electricity assistance. In energy, the government representative emphasized, we had managed to cover 90% of the increases, but in gas there is no possibility to cover a large part of the increase. He explained that the perimeter would be horizontal and everyone would be reinforced.
According to Mr. Economou, the relevant announcements will be made soon.
There is no new Fuel Pass program on the table
When asked about diesel, Mr. Economou clarified that there is currently no Fuel Pass 3 program on the table. As he said, “this program is being completed. We are here to see how the price will be formed and how the market will move.”
What will certainly be done, as the government spokesman mentioned, is that there will be a subsidy at the heating oil pump.
