Nearly 4 million French people will receive their energy voucher from Monday

Just a breath of fresh air at the end of the year. Many French people will receive their energy voucher from this month of November. This support, the average amount of which is approximately 150 euros, is intended for low-income households to reduce the costs of electricity, gas, fuel oil or wood. This year, almost 4 million households will receive it. Originally planned for the spring, the sending of the energy voucher was exceptionally postponed this year.

“Due to the late adoption of the 2025 financing law, the first energy checks for the 2025 campaign will be sent in November 2025”said a press release from the Ministry of Economy and Finance. Therefore, this year, eligible taxpayers will receive it directly to their homes between November 3 and November 28, 2025, depending on the housing department.

One of the most important novelties for 2025 is that the procedure for awarding the energy voucher is now based on the Delivery Point (PDL) number of the home and the income of the fiscal household of the holder of the electricity contract. “take into account the abolition, in 2023, of the housing tax on the main homes, from which all households benefited”.

Moreover, a “e-energy check” appears: “beneficiaries will have the amount of their energy voucher immediately available in their personal space on the energy voucher website from the start of the campaign”explains Bercy. Beneficiaries will be able to use it in different installments, with suppliers accepting this service, simplifying procedures for beneficiaries.

The allocation remains automatic for the majority of eligible households, who will receive this assistance without prior action. “Households that are not automatically identified in this way can identify themselves via an online portal or request the check by post”according to the ministry’s press release.
