Greece opens myΘέρμανση platform for heating allowance of up to 1,560 euros

Platform and application route

The myΘέρμανση platform run by AADE is the channel for applying to the 2026-2027 heating allowance, and NewsIT reported on 9 November that it had opened. Earlier reports from NEWS 24/7 and Naftemporiki had expected it to open on Tuesday, 10 November. Applicants reach it through the myAADE portal by following the path 'Εφαρμογές', 'Δημοφιλείς Εφαρμογές', 'myΘέρμανση', and sign in with their TAXISnet personal codes. The platform holds four applications: one to submit a request for entry in the register of allowance beneficiaries, one to record heating millesimal shares in apartment buildings, one called 'Τα Παραστατικά μου' (My Receipts) for purchase receipts, and one to verify the validity of an electricity supply number.

Amounts and eligibility

The allowance is 30% higher this year, and it can reach 1,560 euros in the coldest settlements. The reference amounts depend on fuel: 380 euros for electricity, 360 for pellets, 350 for firewood and district heating, 325 for natural gas, and 300 for heating oil, blue kerosene and LPG. The sum each household finally receives is that reference amount multiplied by the current weather coefficient for the settlement of its main residence. NEWS 24/7 adds that the number of dependent children also shapes the final figure. Areas with a climate coefficient of at least one get a 25% increase, with payments up to 1,300 euros, and the 1,560 euro ceiling applies where the coefficient is 1.2 or higher. The benefit covers only the main home, whether owned, rented or provided free of charge, and each beneficiary may claim for one fuel type alone. NEWS 24/7 says about 1.2 million households will be able to apply.

Documents, pitfalls and exclusions

Applicants need the electricity supply number of the main residence, the property address and, for rented or free-of-charge housing, the owner's AFM. Before finalizing, they should confirm that an IBAN on which they are a beneficiary or joint beneficiary is registered on myAADE. In apartment buildings, the administrator must first declare the flats, residents and millesimal shares. For heating oil, the receipt must carry the applicant's AFM or the AFM set for the building profile, and suppliers send that data to AADE electronically. For fuels other than electricity and heating oil, applicants must enter receipt details themselves, and all records must be kept for five years. Electricity is cross-checked through DEDDIE and suppliers, but the supply point must match the main residence. People without an active supply point and holders of the Social Household Tariff at the close of applications are excluded.

Income and property limits

Income ceilings are 16,000 euros of annual family income for a single, widowed or separated person, 24,000 euros for a married person or civil partner (plus 5,000 euros per child), and 29,000 euros for a single parent (plus 5,000 euros per child after the first). The objective value of property may not exceed 200,000 euros for singles and 260,000 euros for married couples or single-parent families, a limit that rises by 40,000 euros per dependent child. NEWS 24/7 says the income and property criteria remain unchanged this year.

Deadlines and payments

Applications close on 4 December 2026. The advance payment is due by 23 December, and the total of 225 million euros comes from the Energy Transition Fund. The advance is the first payment in the sequence, and the remaining amounts follow in later installments depending on the fuel used and the heating costs incurred. The timeline below sets out the dates reported across the three articles.
