The Social Electricity Tariff is a program designed to provide lower electricity costs for households facing financial hardship.
Who it's for
This scheme is available to low-income families who are officially registered in the CadÚnico system.
What you get
If you qualify, you will receive a significant discount on your monthly electricity bill, helping to reduce your overall household expenses.
What it costs you
There is no direct fee to join the program, but you must maintain an active and updated registration in the CadÚnico database to remain eligible.
The catch to know
The discount is not applied to your account automatically. You must take the extra step of informing your local utility company about your CadÚnico status to start receiving the benefit.
How to apply
- Ensure your family is registered and active in the CadÚnico system.
- Contact your electricity provider to report your status.
- Provide your documentation to the utility company to request the discount.
- Check your next electricity bill to confirm the discount has been applied.
