150 euros on average, 277 euros maximum depending on the household.

The sending of the energy check to the most modest people has begun.

It must continue until Friday April 29, 2022.


Objective: to help nearly six million households pay their bills or energy renovation work.

Five expedition waves have been set up by the services of the Ministry of Ecological Transition, in charge of this financial aid.

The date of receipt of this sum promised by the government depends on the department where you live.

When do we receive the energy check by department?

Residents of northern France have normally been the first to benefit from this means-tested aid since March 30.

Since then, every week, between ten and twenty departments are concerned by new shipments.


If you have already benefited from the energy voucher in 2021 and you have chosen to automatically allocate the next one to an energy supplier, then you will be informed of the presence of a possible 2022 voucher by the end of April.

The energy voucher has already started to be distributed in the departments of Pas-de-Calais, Nord, Bas-Rhin, Eure-et-Loir, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Guyana and La Réunion, Somme, Aisne, Oise, Isère, Corsica, Gironde, Ardennes, Marne, Meuse, Meurthe-et-Moselle or Moselle, particularly.


If you live in one of these departments and haven't received the payment yet, don't panic.

The government specifies that “depending on the vagaries, in particular of routing”, the energy checks could arrive the following week.

From April 19 to 22, 2022, these departments will normally be concerned: Calvados, Manche, Sarthe, Cher, Loiret, Indre, Mayenne, Indre-et-Loire, Maine-et-Loire, Vendée, Loire-Atlantique, Ille-et-Vilaine, Côtes-d'Armor, Finistère, Morbihan, Creuse, Corrèze, Haute-Vienne, Vienne, Charente, Charente-Maritime and Gers.

From April 25 to 29: Dordogne, Lot-et-Garonne, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Landes, Hautes-Pyrénées, Pyrénées-Orientales, Haute-Garonne, Ariège, Lot, Aveyron, Tarn-et-Garonne, Tarn, Aude, Hérault, Lozère, Gard, Mayotte, Vaucluse, Bouches-du-Rhône, Var, Alpes-Maritimes, Hautes-Alpes, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.

This energy voucher is valid until March 31 of the year following its issue.

The additional check for 100 euros, sent in December 2021, is also valid until March 31, 2023.
