Italy Appliance Voucher Draws 550,000 Day-One Requests as Funds Run Out

Applicants now face a time-ordered waitlist pending validation.

Overview

  • The platform remains open and new submissions are queued chronologically for allocation, according to the industry ministry.
  • Roughly €48.1 million in initial funding has been effectively covered by requests, so many applicants will not receive immediate vouchers.
  • Authorities are validating applications in the order received with cross-checks against civil registries and INPS, with the first vouchers expected after about two days.
  • Each voucher is valid for 15 days, unused or partially used amounts return to the pool for the next applicants, and eligibility requires scrapping a like-for-like old appliance.
  • The incentive provides a 30% discount up to €100 per household, rising to €200 for ISEE up to €25,000, and brief launch issues on App IO were resolved as lawmakers consider an extension into 2026–2027 that is not yet confirmed.
