Heating allowance: The tables with the amounts for all of Greece – Who is entitled to it

For most beneficiaries the amounts will range from 100 to 800 euros. Especially in areas of the country where the climatic conditions are unfavorable and there is severe cold in winter, the allowance will be increased by 25% and its upper limit will reach 1,000 euros. In more detail, for the period 2024-2025 the following will apply to the heating allowance:

1) The heating allowance will be granted from next December to natural persons, who for their heating consume heating oil or lighting oil (blue kerosene) or natural gas or LPG or firewood or biomass (pellets) or thermal energy through district heating and meet the prescribed income and asset criteria. The allowance will be granted to the above-mentioned natural persons for the properties they use as their main residence at the time of submitting the application, whether they are leased or freely granted or owner-occupied. Especially for the granting of a heating subsidy to consumers of firewood and biomass (pellets), an additional condition is set that the property is located in a settlement with a population equal to or below 10,000 inhabitants and that the corresponding subsidy coefficient is equal to or greater than 0.8. Especially for the granting of a heating allowance to consumers of thermal energy through district heating, it will be an additional condition that the property is located in one of the municipalities of Serres, Eordaia, Kozani, Amyntaio or Megalopolis.

2) The minimum amount of the allowance remains at 100 euros. The maximum limit is 800 euros in most regions of the country.

3) The basis for calculating the heating allowance will again be set at 350 euros for all beneficiaries. According to the heating allowance calculation system, which is already in effect from the winter season 2020-2021, the amount of the calculation base will be multiplied by a subsidy factor, called the “degree day factor” and scaled from 0.12 to 1.62, depending with the cold that prevails in each region of the country, in order to determine the amount of allowance to which each interested party is entitled. In addition, the amount of the allowance, as determined after multiplying the calculation base by the subsidy factor, will be increased for each dependent child of the beneficiary by 20%. For those beneficiaries who live in areas where the climatic conditions are characterized by extreme cold in winter and the subsidy factor is equal to or greater than 1, the subsidy amounts will be further increased by 25%, with the maximum amount (the maximum limit) to reach up to 1,000 euros (instead of 800 euros).

The following examples are indicative for families with two children:
* In the center of Athens (with a degree-day factor of 0.43), the allowance will be 211 euros.
* In the center of Thessaloniki (with a degree day factor of 0.71), the allowance will amount to 348 euros.
* In Kozani (with a degree-day factor of 1.12), the allowance will be 686 euros.

4) The annual income limits up to which the right to collect the allowance will be recognized are as follows:

a) The income limit for a single person is 16,000 euros. For married people or those who entered into a cohabitation agreement, without dependent children, the limit reaches 24,000 euros in total. Also, for each single-parent family, the basic limit without the increase due to a child or children is 27,000 euros.

b) The limit increase for each dependent child amounts to 5,000 euros.

Thus, the total income limits for families are formed as follows:

– 29,000 euros for each family with two parents and one child,

– 34,000 euros for each family with two parents and two children,

– 39,000 euros for each family with two parents and three children,

– 44,000 euros for each family with two parents and four children,

– 32,000 euros for each family with one parent and one child,

– 37,000 euros for each family with one parent and two children,

– 42,000 euros for each family with one parent and three children,

– 47,000 euros for each family with one parent and four children.

5) The objective value limit of immovable property for unmarried beneficiaries amounts to 200,000 euros. For married couples, the objective value limit is 300,000 euros.

6) In order to collect the allowance, those interested should submit their applications electronically by the beginning of December 2024 in the myHeating application, which will be launched in October or November, on the AADE website (aade.gr).

1,15 – 1,20€ the liter available from today

From 1.15 to 1.20 euros per liter, the price of heating oil, the availability of which started yesterday, Tuesday, October 15, 2024, is expected. This range applies to the whole country, with the competent analysts estimating that in In Attica, the fuel in question will be sold for approximately 1.16-1.17 euros per liter, while its price will be close to 1.20 euros per liter in more remote areas of the country (e.g. the islands).

And this, while last year the average price, on 13/10/2023, when its availability began, was 1.36 euros/liter in Attica, while 1.39 euros/liter was the average nationwide. And at the end of the season, specifically on April 30, 2024, when the distribution of heating oil was completed, its average price was 1.31 euros for Attica and 1.33 euros for the pan-Hellenic average.

The picture that market players have is that there has been no destocking, on the consumer side, since last season. That is why they estimate that there may be some small orders, already, from the first days of the availability of heating oil, due to the lower prices compared to last year, but also due to the geopolitical disturbances in the Middle East. The orders depend on the capacity of each household and how much they are pressured by other obligations they have to meet (eg supermarket, rent, tutoring, bills, etc.).
