Overview

  • From July 1, an estimated 3 to 5 million households will receive automatic €200 credits on their electricity and gas bills, rising to €500 for social bonus recipients.
  • Households requiring an Isee declaration must complete income verification to secure discounts that will be applied within three months of approval.
  • Vulnerable consumers and micro-enterprises gain a two-year extension under regulated tariffs before shifting to the free energy market.
  • The decree allocates €600 million to SME electricity and gas discounts and advances €600 million from ETS auction revenues to energy-intensive firms.
  • Standardized energy receipts include a unified front page, detailed cost breakdowns and an offer box with contract terms, consumption history and payment status.
