Application period for compensation for high energy prices for households with block connection extended

Update September 5, 2023: Residents can check if the compensation has already been applied for them via the Kadaster website.

Update January 10, 2024: Contract holders could apply for compensation until October 31, 2023. For questions, they can call 055 538 53 80 (on weekdays between 8 am and 5 pm). For example, about the status of the application.

The scheme applies to both independent residential units, such as an apartment using collective heating via a Homeowners Association (vve), and non-independent residential units, such as a room in a student house or care initiative.

Households with a block connection do not apply for the support themselves. This is done by the person who has the contract with the energy supplier. In many cases, this is the landlord or the vve. The applicant then settles the compensation with the energy costs of residents. The final extension of the application period will be published in the Government Gazette before September 30.

More information for contract holders about applying for the Temporary Compensation for Block Connections (TTB) can be found in the application step-by-step plan.

If you as a resident are curious whether support has been applied for your block connection, enter your postal code and house number on the Kadaster page where you can check the status of your application.
