From 7 February 2023, vulnerable households with a high energy bill can turn to the national Temporary Energy Emergency Fund. For households eligible for support, the Emergency Fund pays part of the energy bill from October 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023. The eligible target group are Dutch people with an income of up to 200% of the subsistence minimum who earn at least 10% of the lost income on energy costs.
