Javier Milei’s government has recently announced the elimination of subsidies for gas and electricity services. This measure has generated concern among users, who can still verify if they have active subsidies and how to request them.
To find out if a subsidy is available for electricity and gas services:
- In the case of light, it can be consulted by completing a form on the website of the Electricity Regulatory Body (ENRE) using the Edenor or Edesur account number.
- For gas, the information is available on the site of the National Gas Regulatory Entity (ENARGAS), accessing “Benefit Regimes” and then the “Registry of Access to Energy Subsidies” (RASE), entering the service data.
