Authorities propose denying energy compensation for winter 2026-2027 to people with savings above 200,000 lei.
Written later, from the reports of that day.
What it means for you
If you have savings above 200,000 lei, you will probably have to pay your bills yourself. Registration for compensation should start on 2 November. If you were outside the country for more than three months, you will not get the aid.
What happened
Labour Minister Natalia Plugaru says the savings threshold would fall from 300,000 to 200,000 lei. The ministry is also discussing excluding people who bought a car in the last three years. The criteria must be presented by 13 October.
In short
- The Government forecasts at least 620,000 households will receive compensation in the 2026-2027 heating season, paid from November to March.
- The 2026 budget initially set aside 550 million lei, while the total need is estimated at 2.5-3.2 billion lei.
- Last winter the Government spent 2.34 billion lei, and a household received about 750 lei a month on average.
- The monthly payment amount and the final number of beneficiaries are not yet set, and depend on available funds and external partners.
