Some people did not automatically receive their basic energy package for the months of November and December 2022 (basic package I). They might then submit a request to the FPS Economy from January 23 until April 30, 2023 to obtain it. This also applied to collective gas installations. What regarding the extension of the package for the months of January, February and March 2023?

No, it is not necessary to submit a new request
The conditions for granting this new bonus (135 euros per month for gas and 61 euros per month for electricity) are the same as for the basic package I. It is not necessary to introduce a new request. “The aim is for this to be done automatically via the supplier in the form of a discount on invoice, credit note or transfer”, explains Etienne Mignolet, spokesperson for the FPS Economy.
Energy premiums: how much for gas, electricity, oil? How to claim them?
However, you will still have to wait a bit to get it: “For the basic package II, you should not wait for the first payments before the end of February”, specifies Etienne Mignolet. The deadline for automatic payment by your supplier is April 1, 2023. If the amount of your invoice is lower than that of the premium (which amounts to 588 euros over the three months if we combine the premium for gas and that for electricity), the deadline is April 18, 2023.
As with the first basic package, there will be a phase for requesting the bonus if it has not been granted automatically, as well as for submitting a specific request for collective gas installations. It will begin on April 23, 2023 and end on July 31, 2023.
