Chèque Énergie: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to receive a government voucher to help pay for your electricity or gas bills based on your household income.
The Chèque Énergie is a government voucher designed to help households with lower incomes manage the costs of their essential energy bills.
Who it's for
This scheme is available to households whose annual income falls below a certain threshold. Eligibility is determined by the information provided in your official tax returns.
What you get
You receive a voucher that can be used to pay for electricity or gas bills. The value of the voucher typically ranges from €48 to €277.
What it costs you
There is no cost to receive this assistance. If your tax information is up to date, the process is automatic and you do not need to submit a formal application.
The catch to know
The voucher is sent to you through the physical mail once a year. It is important not to mistake it for junk mail, as it contains funds meant for your energy providers.
