Heating Voucher (Bon Cieplniczy) – Key Data
This text details a new heating voucher program for seniors in Poland receiving pensions up to PLN 3,272.69. Here’s a breakdown of the important points:
1. Eligibility:
* Crucially, you MUST use “system heat” to qualify. This means heat supplied through a district heating network from heating plants or combined heat and power plants.
* You DO NOT qualify if you use: gas, coal, pellet furnaces, or heat pumps for heating.
* Primarily for residents of larger cities where system heat is common. residents of smaller towns with individual heating sources are generally ineligible.
2. Voucher Amounts:
The voucher amount depends on your heating costs (measured in GJ net) and the year you receive it.
For 2025:
* PLN 500: Heating costs between PLN 170/GJ and PLN 200/GJ net.
* PLN 1,000: Heating costs between PLN 200/GJ and PLN 230/GJ net.
* PLN 1,750: Heating costs over PLN 230/GJ net.
for 2026:
* PLN 1,000: Heating costs between PLN 170/GJ and PLN 200/GJ net.
* PLN 2,000: Heating costs between PLN 200/GJ and PLN 230/GJ net.
* PLN 3,500: Heating costs over PLN 230/GJ net.
3. Expected Amounts:
Because most system heat prices in poland are closer to PLN 170/GJ, most recipients are expected to receive PLN 500 in 2025 and PLN 1,000 in 2026.
In short: Check if you have radiators connected to a district heating network. If you do,and your pension is below the threshold,you might potentially be eligible for this voucher.
