Up to € 717 million from 2026 in the most vulnerable households include the third pillar of the national social climate plan that was put into public consultation yesterday.

Support that will mitigate the impact of the application of SEDE2 (ie the application of carbon use costs in the areas of buildings and transport), which will essentially earn time in households until reforms also begin to show results in the context of energy transition to greener forms of energy.

The subsidy concerns the following actions:

RENTAL SUPPLY by 2026 to about 5,500 public officials (teachers, health care, security forces and armed forces) to be placed
In remote sites of service, especially in island and disadvantaged areas. The allowance will be in the area of ​​200 euros/month but its final amount will depend on the area (another housing cost in Paros and another in a mountain village was typically said by officials from the Ministry of Social Cohesion and Family) and will be given horizontally to all civil servants.

The measure, according to the Deputy Prime Minister, can also contribute to fuel saving as it will allow the public official to stay closer to his workplace.

These 5,500 public officials will receive the subsidy of 1 rent up to 800 euros each November, are not excluded from the regulation.

RENTAL SUPPLY and in 8,000 energy vulnerable households that do not have their own home. They are also households residing in the region and specifically in island or disadvantaged areas.

Heating allowance In energy -efficient households based on fossil fuels (oil, gas, LPG), this is a traditional allowance which is not changed simply in the context of actions by the National Climate Fund.

Energy -vulnerable, it is considered a household that cannot provide the resources necessary to upgrade their home energy. To quantify this definition, it is taken as a basis that the average cost of energy upgrade is approximately 30,000 euros and is funded by a loan that has a 10 -year repayment horizon. Calculation of the amount of the dose methodologically leads to the determination of the available income per household at EUR 25,000 per year by EUR 1000 – 1500 euros/child.

It is estimated that 1.5 million households in the country have energy vulnerability characteristics.
