A welcome boost. For several months, inflation has hit France hard, affecting many sectors such as real estate, fuel, food and energy. To support the most modest households, the State has set up several aids, including the energy check. According to INSEE data, despite a slowdown, inflation in France in June 2023 reached 4.5%. Nevertheless, with an initial drop in energy prices of 3% over one year.
This famous energy check had already been introduced this winter to help the French pay their electricity, gas and wood bills. On this occasion, the Minister for Energy Transition confided that “these payments are automatic. You can use it to pay your electricity, gas, wood bill. Also, all the other energies that allow you to heat your accommodation”.
Since Wednesday, July 5, households in the Île-de-France region can benefit from this new energy check. Please note, this new aid available only applies to residents of the territory and up to 250 euros. Several reasons are attributed by the region on the exclusivity of the measure for this month of July. Indeed, the Ile-de-France region has noticed that the French energy bill has increased by almost 30% since the beginning of 2023. This aid will therefore be paid into the account of all beneficiaries.
Attention, to benefit from it, you must have an average taxable income reaching at most 60% of the median taxable income. This therefore represents 14,802 euros for a single person. Or even 15,525 euros for a couple with 3 children for example, as specified by Cnews.
