Heating Allowance 2025-2026: When do applications start and who is eligible

The electronic platform for the Heating Allowance for the 2025-2026 winter period opens on Monday, November 10, 2025. The procedure will take place via the myΘέρμανση application, where citizens will be able to easily submit their application using their personal Taxisnet codes. The program’s goal is to substantially support households against the increased energy cost expected again this year.

Who can receive it

The allowance will be given to households that meet specific income and property criteria. For this year, the same limits that were in effect last year are maintained. Income is assessed based on the latest available tax data, while any changes in the beneficiary’s family status are also taken into account. The program’s goal is to cover both the lowest incomes and families with increased heating needs due to location or living conditions.

What the allowance covers

The Heating Allowance covers the consumption of heating oil, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), firewood, pellets, district heating, and electricity. The subsidy amount is calculated based on the weather conditions of each area and can start from €100 and reach up to €800. In mountainous areas or areas with very low temperatures, the amount can reach up to €1,200.

Submission process and payments

Applications are submitted exclusively electronically via the myΘέρμανση platform on the AADE website. The applicant logs in with their personal codes, fills in the residence details, and declares the type of fuel they use. Subsidized fuel purchases must have been made from October 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026. For those who submit an application by December 5, a 60% advance payment of the allowance is provided, which will be paid by December 23, 2025.

The role of accountants and professionals

The correct submission of data is crucial for the rapid approval and payment of the allowance. Accounting offices play a decisive role in the process, helping citizens to check their tax data and correctly complete the application. Furthermore, businesses that distribute fuel must timely transmit sales data to the system, so that the beneficiaries’ transactions are confirmed and delays are avoided.

Conclusion

The Heating Allowance remains an important support measure for Greek households, especially during a period when the cost of energy remains high. Timely application, the correct submission of details, and cooperation with the accountant ensure that the process will be completed without problems and the allowance will be paid promptly to those who need it most.
