Received energy surcharge earlier?

Did you receive € 500 energy surcharge (for 2022) earlier this year? If so, you do not have to do anything. We will check your income. If it turns out that you are entitled to energy surcharge, the municipality will pay you € 800 in December 2023. You will receive a letter about this.
