The interest in the NZÚ Light program exceeded our expectations and confirmed that the support of saving measures is an important part of the fight against the lowering of the living standards of the most vulnerable population groups in connection with rising energy prices.

Water heating could not be cheaper

Until now, the subsidy from the NZÚ Light program was intended exclusively for old-age pension recipients, for people with the third degree of disability or for households receiving housing allowance. Newly, however, the state subsidy from the program for low-income households and the possibility to purchase solar water heating for just 1 kroner will reach another hundred thousand families who draw child allowances.

In order to receive a state subsidy of up to 90,000 crowns, it is necessary to meet the conditions arising from the New Green Savings Light program, which is intended for low-income households. Above all, it is necessary to be the owner or co-owner of a family house or a permanently occupied recreational building and at the same time meet at least one of the following conditions*:

  • All members of the household are recipients of old-age pensions.
  • All members of the household are recipients of the 3rd degree disability pension.
  • The household received a housing allowance in the period from 12 September 2022.
  • (NEW) The household received child benefits in the period from 12 September 2022.

*If you do not fall into one of these categories of low-income households, you can draw a subsidy from the New Green Savings program and thus apply for a contribution of 45,000 crowns.
