Households with cars up to three years old lose heating compensation
The Government excludes from the 2026-2027 heating season any household where a member owns a car up to three years old, and 660,000 to 670,000 households are expected to get aid.
What it means for you
If your household has a car up to three years old, you will not get heating compensation. The rule applies whatever energy source you use. The aid will range from 500 to 1,000 lei a month, depending on income and family situation.
What happened
The Government has added a new exclusion criterion for heating compensation for the 2026-2027 season. Labour and Social Protection Minister Natalia Plugaru announced it at a press conference on 2 November. She rejected criticism that the conditions are too strict.
In short
- Households where at least one member owns a car up to three years old are excluded.
- Properties with a combined cadastral value above one million lei also rule a household out.
- Interest income above 4,000 lei in 2025, or dividend income of 150,000 lei or more a year, also rules a household out.
- The Government estimates that between 660,000 and 670,000 households will receive compensation.
- Average monthly heating spending equal to at least 350 cubic metres of natural gas in the previous season also rules a household out.
