Temporary Energy Emergency Fund

The Emergency Fund looks at how high the bill for gas, heat and electricity is. And to the income of the adults in a household. If the difference is too large, the energy supplier will reduce part of the energy bill for 6 months.

• Your household has an income of a maximum of 200% of the social minimum. This means that the gross income per month is lower than € 3,200 (single) or € 4,480 (cohabiting). This is with 8% holiday pay.
• Your household has an energy contract for gas, electricity or district heating in the name of a person from the household.
• The energy costs from your energy supplier are higher than 8% to 10% of the gross income per month.
