Who can benefit from an energy voucher?
The energy voucher is available to households that meet certain income criteria. To receive full funding, your monthly net income must not exceed PLN 2,500 per person in a single-person household or PLN 1,700 per person in a multi-person household – reminds the Local Government Portal. The value of the voucher depends on the number of people in the household and can vary between 300 PLN to 1,200 PLN.
How do I request an energy voucher?
You can request an energy voucher in several ways:
- online: on the websites gov.pl and epuap.gov.pl.
- in the mObywatel application: allows you to quickly submit an application with some data automatically filled in.
- in person or by mail: at the city hall or at Poczta Polska branches.
What amounts can you receive?
The value of the voucher depends on the number of people in the household and the heating source:
- PLN 300 – single-person household,
- PLN 400 – multi-person household (2-3 people),
- PLN 500 – multi-person household (4-5 people),
- PLN 600 – multi-person household (6 people and more).
In the case of electricity-powered heating, the subsidy increases:
- PLN 600 – single-person household,
- PLN 800 – multi-person household (2-3 people),
- PLN 1,000 – multi-person family (4-5 people),
- PLN 1,200 – multi-person household (6 people and more).
What to do if your income exceeds the limits?
Even if your household income exceeds the limits, you can still apply for an energy voucher on a penny-on-the-dollar basis. This means that the value of the voucher will be reduced as your income exceeds certain limits.
What is required to submit an application?
To submit an application, you must prepare a login to a trusted profile or e-banking account, details of household members and the bank account number to which the funds will be transferred. When submitting an application via the mObywatel app, the process is even easier thanks to the automatic filling of some data.
You can only apply for one energy voucher until September 30, 2024. After this date, applications will not be considered.
