The Government of Chile has implemented new economic aid this year to support the most vulnerable households in the country: the Electricity Subsidy. The main objective of this benefit is to alleviate the cost of electricity bills, providing a monthly discount to beneficiaries. The measure seeks to temporarily support the families that need it most, ensuring more accessible access to essential electrical services.
Recently, the Government confirmed that the second call to apply for this subsidy will be open from October 7 to November 6. During this period, those who comply with the requirements They will be able to register to receive the benefit. Those selected will begin to receive the subsidy on their electricity bills on a monthly basis, from January to June 2025, which represents an important relief for household expenses.
This subsidy It is intended for those who are part of the 40% most vulnerable according to the Social Household Registry. Those who already applied in the first call and maintain their status in the registry, as well as their electricity bills up to date, will have preference to receive the subsidy automatically next year. This ensures continuity in aid for those who have already benefited.
However, we must pay attention to an important detail: if the beneficiaries have changed their address, it is requirement update the information on the official subsidy page, including the new customer number of the corresponding electricity company. This procedure is essential to continue receiving the discount on new electricity bills. All information can be managed on the official subsidy website, www.subsidioelectrico.cl.
For those who wish to apply for the first time, it is requirement register within the established deadline. The authorities have reported that the granting of this subsidy will be subject to budget availability, which means that not all applications could be approved immediately. However, the Government remains committed to expanding benefit coverage to help more families.
