AADE’s myΘέρμανση online platform has opened for applications for the heating allowance for the 2026-2027 season.
The allowance is available to all eligible recipients, regardless of the heating source they use (heating oil, natural gas, electricity, LPG, firewood, pellets, blue kerosene or district heating).
The allowance is available to both property owners and tenants, as well as people living in properties provided rent-free. Each household is entitled to a subsidy for only one type of heating.
The amount of the allowance depends on the location of the home and the heating source. Those using electricity for heating will receive more, while an additional 20% is provided for each dependent child.
The support payments for eligible recipients have been increased by 30% to ease mounting pressure on households facing the deepening energy crisis.
The minimum allowance is €100, rising to €1,560 for residents of areas of the country that experience severe cold during the winter.
How to apply
The allowance is available to both property owners and tenants, as well as people living in properties provided rent-free. Each household is entitled to a subsidy for only one type of heating.
Applications must be submitted online using personal TAXISnet credentials. Applicants must provide the electricity supply number for their main residence, the type of heating and the property details. They must also enter a bank account number (IBAN) on myAADE.
Eligible purchases generally cover the period from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. For heating oil, purchases from 15 October count, while purchases of firewood and pellets from 1 June 2026 are also eligible.
The platform will accept applications until 4 December 2026. Before Christmas, specifically by 23 December 2026, households will receive the advance payment of the allowance in their bank accounts; this payment will also be 30% higher.
Apartment blocks
As in previous years, a special procedure applies to apartment blocks. Before applications are submitted, the building manager or representative must create the apartment block’s profile on the myΘέρμανση platform, providing its details, the flats and each property’s share of the heating costs.
Residents who meet the criteria can then submit their own applications. Invoices for heating oil must be issued under the apartment block’s tax identification number (AFM), if it has one, or under the AFM used to create its profile.
