The subsidy will be incorporated in the form of a discount in the electricity bills of the beneficiaries between January and March
The deadline for submitting applications for the granting of emergency aid to citizens who use electricity for their heating (ie air conditioning, electric stoves, etc.) ends tomorrow, Monday, February 5, 2024.
It is reminded that the applications are submitted by the potential beneficiaries, electronically, through a specialized platform of AADE, (https://www1.aade.gr/gsisapps/oilbftelectric/login/login.htm), using the TAXISnet codes.
It is noted that the extraordinary aid for heating with electricity concerns natural personssingle or married or widowed or cohabiting or separated or divorced, who use electricity to heat their main residence (whether it is privately owned or leased or granted free of charge).
Beneficiaries are excluded from the granting of the emergency heating aid with electricity:
- Heating allowance from other sources (e.g. oil, natural gas, etc.), whose applications have been approved for the winter season 2023-2024, as well as
- of the Social Household Tariff (CTO).
It is clarified how it is not acceptable to use the same electricity supply number for more than one beneficiary for the same period of timeas well as for more than one application from the same A.F.M.
Beneficiaries receive extraordinary aid, ranging from 45 to 480 euros for the entire period of application of the measure (1.1.2024 to 31.3.2024). The amount is granted to a against or clearing account, which is issued by the respective supplier.
For this purpose, data related to the Postal Codes, municipalities and settlements of the country are used. These are the degree days, which are an indicator of the severity of a region’s climate and are used to calculate the heating loads of a building and the required energy consumption for its heating.
