Energy Cheque

 

Since 2018, the social electricity tariff has been replaced by the energy cheque. No steps need to be taken to switch to the new system.

The energy cheque is a system to help pay for energy expenses (electricity and gas bills, energy renovation, etc.). It is aimed at low-income households. The amount of the cheque is a minimum of €48 and a maximum of €277 including tax.

To be eligible for the energy cheque, your household's annual reference tax income (RFR) must be less than €10,700 per consumption unit (UC). The UC is used to calculate your consumption, knowing :

• one person constitutes 1 UC,
• that the second person constitutes 0.5 UC,
• and that each additional person constitutes 0.3 UC.
