According to the Ministry of Energy, certain vulnerable consumers are currently paying higher rates for their electricity consumption than necessary, despite being eligible for a public tariff. These calculations indicate that the average monthly surcharge for these consumers could range between three and nine euros, with potential savings exceeding this amount in certain instances. The Ministry has defined vulnerable consumers as individuals who receive or are entitled to cash social assistance, persons with disabilities, or those receiving state pensions or state compensation.
Energy Minister Lukas Savickas issued a call to action, urging all eligible residents to take advantage of the available reduced rates for electricity. He stated that the Ministry remains committed to ensuring that all residents are promptly informed about this financial opportunity. “News about this opportunity will reach residents,” Savickas confirmed, emphasizing the ongoing effort to disseminate accurate information.
The initiative aims to ensure that some vulnerable groups of residents can benefit from the public tariff structure for their essential electricity needs. By utilizing the appropriate public supply channels, these consumers can significantly reduce their household expenditure on power. The Ministry stressed that the goal is to maximize cost-efficiency for those most reliant on state support, ensuring that financial assistance translates into tangible savings on utility bills.
