Greek Heating Allowance Platform Opens for 2026-2027 Winter Season

The Independent Authority for Public Revenue opened its myThermation platform on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, allowing applications for the 2026-2027 winter heating allowance. The platform serves residents of apartment buildings heated with heating oil. Building administrators and management companies must register building details on the platform before tenants can submit their own subsidy requests.

Administrators must declare the tax identification number of the administrator, representative, or management company, along with the building's tax identification number if issued. They must also provide the shared electricity supply number and the percentage share of heating expenses for each apartment. Names of residents living in units not used as professional premises are also required.

“The first installment of the allowance will also be increased and will reach 78 percent of the total amount against 60 percent that was until last year.”

Households have until Friday, December 4, 2026, to submit their applications. The first subsidy payment is scheduled before Christmas, with Enikos reporting it will be made by December 23, 2026.

This year's allowance has increased by 30 percent, with the maximum amount reaching 1,560 euros in areas with particularly low temperatures. The final amount depends on the type of fuel, local climate conditions, number of dependent children, and eligible expenses.

The first installment will cover 78 percent of the total amount, compared with 60 percent last year, according to Real News citing ministry sources. Payments may arrive earlier than December 23 this year.

In buildings without an administrator, tenants and owners must agree on a person to represent the building and create its profile on the platform. The same applies when there is no shared electricity supply, in which case the relevant supply must be determined.
