Τhe Ministry of Environment and Energy announced on Tuesday that it will continue to support electricity consumers in August with a total amount of 19 million euros.
The subsidies for electricity in household tariffs and for all main and non-main residence services, without income criteria and regardless of provider, are as follows in August:
For monthly consumption up to 500 kilowatt-hours, the subsidy will be 10 euros per megawatt-hour. This category includes 90% of households in Greece.
For monthly consumption of more than 500 kWh are entitled to the same support, provided that they reduce their average daily energy consumption by 15% compared to last year.
For households that are included in the “social tariff program” the aid amounts to €50/MWh and absorbs the entire increased cost.
For farmers, regardless of supply power and voltage level, the aid amounts to €10/MWh.
PS given the heatwave and the over-consumption of electricity form of A/C and fans… that’s a good measure.
The first days of the prolonged heatwave I resisted but I ended up turning on the A/C after two years together with the fan at the heat peak hours.
