Extension of energy, gas, and heat price freezes until mid-2024
The act extends protection for citizens against high electricity, gas, and heating bills for the first half of 2024. It also reintroduces financial support through a shielding allowance for lower-income households.
Key points
Energy price freeze: Prices of electricity, gas, and heat for households will remain capped until June 30, 2024.
New consumption limits: Cheap electricity limits for the first half of the year are set at 50% of the previous annual limits (e.g., 1.5 MWh base limit).
Shielding allowance: Financial aid for low-income households is restored for the first half of 2024; applications must be submitted by April 30, 2024.
No need for new declarations: Citizens who previously qualified for higher limits (e.g., large families, farmers) do not need to reapply if their status remains unchanged.
Funding from the gas sector: A special levy on gas extraction companies is introduced to help fund the energy bill subsidies.
