After an exceptional energy check distributed to several million households, then a fuel check, it is now a wood check which is about to be allocated to 2.6 million households.
This is an aid of between 50 and 200 euros, dedicated to individuals who heat themselves with wood. This government boost will not be paid automatically: it is up to you to request it from December 27, 2022 on the official energy check website.
