Energy surcharge 2023
You can no longer apply for the energy surcharge for 2022. As in 2022, the government is giving municipalities the option to provide an energy surcharge to low-income households in 2023.
Municipalities may not pay the 2023 energy allowance until the 2023 Energy Allowance Act is amended by the Rijksoverheid. The law was expected to be amended in June but unfortunately this has been delayed. Payment of the energy allowance 2023 can therefore only take place in the fall. As soon as we know more, we will inform you.
In anticipation of the national legislative change, our municipality did pay out an amount of 500 euros in April 2023 as an advance of the energy allowance 2023 to residents who previously received the energy allowance 2022 of 1300 euros and met all the Requirements .
If the energy allowance is not enough
You may not be entitled to the energy supplement. Or the energy allowance is not enough to pay your energy costs. Then apply for Special Assistance Energy Surcharge for high energy costs.
