“For electricity, we have said that if there are increases, there will be our intervention. We will see the intervention, with the criteria we set each time”. With this laconic phrase, Minister of State Makis Voridis spoke to MEGA today, on the subject of electricity subsidies, against the backdrop of wholesale prices that are increasing at a dizzying speed.
We remind you that from November 13, the “MyHeating” digital platform is open for the heating allowance for the winter season.
Over 1.2 million households are expected to receive the heating allowance during the period 2024-2025, the amounts of which will vary from 100 to 1,200 euros. Beneficiaries will be able to submit applications until December 6, with 60% of the subsidy paid within the same month. Thus, within the next month, consumers who are entitled to it will receive the first large installment of the allowance.
What’s good this year to keep us warm?
