Government Launches New Wave of Energy Checks to Reduce Household Bills: Find Out if You’re Eligible

A new wave of energy checks was launched this week by the government. Households in several departments will benefit from this precious aid, which helps to reduce the energy bill. This measure follows the mailings of April 21, April 24 to 28 and May 2 to 5.

The energy check helps to reduce the bills of the most modest households. In these times of inflation marked by a significant rise in energy costs, this government assistance is more than welcome. Eligible households receive it by mail without having to take any steps. It should be noted that the receipt of this aid is conditioned by the resources of the household. The check is thus intended for households whose income does not exceed 10,800 euros per year. Its amount varies between 48 and 277 euros. It is possible to test your eligibility on the government website dedicated to this purpose.

In detail, this week’s mailing concerns around twenty departments. These are divided into three successive waves. The first wave also concerned residents of Calvados, Essonne, Cher, Eure, Hauts-de-Seine, Indre, Loiret, Loir-et-Cher, Manche, Orne, Paris, Sarthe, Seine-Maritime, Val-d’Oise and Seine-Saint-Denis. Following this first wave, residents of the departments of Bas-Rhin, Deux-Sèvres and Guyana received their checks in the second wave of mailings. The third shipment, meanwhile, concerned the departments of Gironde, Eure-et-Loir, Corsica, Réunion, Guadeloupe and Isère.

The energy check will benefit more than 5.8 million people in 2023

You should know that the time it takes to receive the exceptional energy check after it has been sent is generally two to four days. After receipt, the check can be used to pay various energy bills, such as electricity, gas, wood, as well as all other sources of energy used to heat the home. Thus, this check plays a significant role in improving the purchasing power of the poorest households. By allowing them to reduce their energy costs, it offers them the opportunity to devote a larger part of their budget to other essential expenses.

In 2023, approximately 5.8 million people are expected to benefit from this check, which represents a considerable number of households with the possibility of improving their quality of life thanks to this aid. Eligibility for the energy check is reassessed each year. A household that did not receive the check this year may be eligible for it next year if their financial situation changes.

The energy check initiative does not only aim to help the most modest households, but is also part of an energy transition perspective. Indeed, the use of this check encourages the promotion of renewable energies and encourages households to adopt greener heating solutions. With this help, the government is taking another step towards a more sustainable future.
