Aid which concerns around 1.4 million French people.
The government is working on a boost of up to 200 euros and paid from November to around half of French people who heat themselves with oil, said Thursday the Minister of Public Accounts Gabriel Attal.
This aid, “of 100 and 200 euros” will come from the envelope of 230 million euros voted by Parliament this summer in favor of homes heating with fuel oil, specified the minister invited by franceinfo.
It can be combined with the energy check, he added.
"For the most modest households, that's up to 400 euros in exceptional aid this winter to fill their tank," he explained.
“Protect the French”
More generally on the tariff shield, the minister assured that “as long as the situation is what it is, we will continue to protect the French”.
“What we have planned, in terms of budget, is to be able to support the French over the next year, now what I cannot tell you is what the situation will be in mid-2023 and what will be the prices at the world level, ”he said, when asked about the duration of the tariff shield.
“We have always said that we will continue to support the French as long as we are in this unprecedented situation, with world price increases on electricity and gas prices which are totally unreasonable”, underlined Gabriel Attal. .
Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne added Wednesday during a press conference that it was also necessary "to support households who heat themselves with wood", without specifying the exact modalities.
