The government will decide on whether to introduce energy vouchers for the poorest households in January, when it has more data about energy price increases.
Before that, the main measure to combat rising prices will be the special allowance for pensioners, included in the latest Covid relief package, PM Janez Janša told MPs. The energy vouchers under consideration would be distributed to “slightly over 60,000” people but “only if the situation lasts longer than predicted”.
