Voted: Energy compensation for the 2024-2025 season will go directly to consumers
In the 2024-2025 heating season, energy compensation will be awarded directly to vulnerable consumers, without the involvement of suppliers. The project on the amendment of the Law on the energy vulnerability reduction fund was approved by 57 deputies.
Under the new regulations, people with low incomes will receive the energy compensations directly into their bank accounts, through the electronic payment service Mpay. The Ministry of Labor will calculate the amounts, and the National Social Insurance House will monitor the transfers.
