What is the energy voucher?
The energy voucher is a financial aid granted annually by the French government to support low-income households in paying their energy expenses, whether it be electricity and gas bills or energy renovation work. In 2023, it concerns 5.6 million households. The beneficiaries have been selected based on their income level, with a specific ceiling and conditions determined by the number of people in the household.
How to use the energy voucher?
The amount of the energy voucher varies between 48 and 277 euros depending on the resources and composition of the household. You can use it in several ways:
- To pay your electricity or gas bills: simply send the voucher to your energy supplier or use the unique code written on it to partially or fully settle your bill through the customer portal or by phone
- To finance energy renovation work: you need to contact a certified professional (Reconnu Garant de l’Environnement – RGE) who will guide you through the process of using your energy voucher for this purpose

What is the validity of your 277 euro Energy Voucher?
The Energy Voucher is indeed a valuable support for low-income households, but it is essential to remember that it has a limited validity period. As indicated on the voucher, it is issued for a calendar year and remains valid until March 31 of the following year. For the 2023 energy voucher, you will therefore have until March 31, 2024 to use it.
In order to maximize the benefits of the 277 euro Energy Voucher granted to you for the year 2023, it is essential to follow a few simple steps. First, to fully utilize this valuable financial aid, you need to visit your energy supplier’s website or log in to the dedicated government portal. Once on the platform, you will need to enter the code written on your Energy Voucher.
The energy voucher is a valuable aid for low-income households in paying their energy expenses and carrying out energy renovation work. Stay attentive to key dates and take the time to inform yourself about your rights and procedures in order to fully benefit from it.
In any case, do not neglect essential actions, often overlooked but so simple to carry out in autumn, to save on electricity and maintenance costs this winter.
