More than 720,000 households applied to be offered on-bill compensation for energy costs by the end of November. A number of 261,000 households are entitled to the monetary compensation of 800 lei a month, Minister of Labor and Social Protection Alexei Buzu told a news conference.
“Many citizens will learn that their energy vulnerability category this year is different from that of last year. This is because the price of energy last year was much higher. The consumption in 2021 was different from that of 2022-2023. But what I want to note is that 91% of the households that will benefit from on-bill compensation this year will pay the same prices as last year, no matter what category they were included in this year,” stated the minister.
He urged the citizens who do not agree with the category assigned to them and those who have particular ambiguities or problems to contact the social worker, the librarian or the Ministry’s team to be offered the necessary support.
