The announcement comes after the Nation’s authorization of the increase in the electricity and gas rate.
The national Government will launch a campaign in the near future to promote re-registration in the Registry of Access to Energy Subsidies (RASE), which defines the segmentation of rates. The new categories were made official after the Secretary of Energy would authorize an increase of at minus 65% on electricity rates for middle and low income users.
In this way, households will voluntarily provide their data so that the Ministry of Energy can update its databases. Based on that, they will correctly categorize users according to their income and assets to focus aid from the national State.
Once the State has the total registration of those registered, they will divide the users into three categories: Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. The first will not receive any type of subsidy while the other two will have a 71.9% and 55.% respectively.
Until May, lower-income families and those in poverty paid just 3% of the full cost of electricity supply, a level that will rise to just over 20% starting this month.
The Government’s intention is that – without changing the inclusion and exclusion criteria for access to subsidies – users declare their updated data to allocate public spending to those who really need it.
Registration of Access to Energy Subsidies: who must register
Based on the division of levels for energy subsidies, the Government clarified who should register for the RASE.
As they clarified, Those who are already registered will not have to register again. Furthermore, they stated that those who need it You can call to see if you are registered. They stressed that those who are not yet registered They must do so in order to receive the subsidy.
On the other hand, the possibility of voluntarily update data recorded at the time of registration.
