SPRK draws attention to the fact that state aid is automatically applied to bills for household users from October. For heating tariffs of up to €150 per MWh, the State compensates for 50% of the tariff above the threshold of €68 per MWh. On the other hand, the State compensates for 90% of the increase above EUR 150 per MWh.
