Heating Voucher (Bon Cieplniczy) – Key Facts
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 critically 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 are NOT eligible 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 excluded.
2. What is “System Heat”?
* Heat delivered via radiators connected to a central heating network.
* doesn’t require individual boilers or furnaces in each building.
3. Voucher Amounts (depending on heat prices – measured in GJ net):
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.
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.
4. Expected Voucher Amount:
* The text suggests most recipients in 2025 will likely receive PLN 500 (and PLN 1,000 in 2026) as typical system heat prices in Poland are closer to PLN 170/GJ.
In short: If you live in a city and have radiators connected to a central heating network, and your pension is below PLN 3,272.69, you may be eligible for this voucher. The amount you receive will depend on your heating costs.
