The government has unveiled the dates for sending the exceptional energy check.

6 million French people living in fuel poverty will benefit from it, but not at the same time.

Shipments will be staggered between December 13 and 22, depending on the department. 

If you are a beneficiary of the energy check, you should not be long in receiving the 100 euros extension announced by the government in mid-September to cope with the soaring energy prices.

Who can benefit from it and when? 

6 million beneficiaries

The first shipments will leave on December 13th.

The 6 million beneficiaries of the energy check - in a situation of fuel poverty - will receive this extension of 100 euros.

A sum that is added to the energy check received last spring ... the amount of which was on average 150 euros.

Shipments staggered between December 13 and 22

To receive it, you do not have to do anything: the check will be sent directly by mail to your home or to your energy supplier if you have opted for automation.

Not all checks will be sent at the same time.

Shipments will be staggered between December 13 and 22 depending on the department.

This extension of the energy check is intended to help households pay their bills for electricity, gas, heating oil or other heating fuels such as wood.

And it should be used before March 31, 2023.
