Before reading this content, it would be good to know about eco-friendly boiler subsidies as well. This year, energy vouchers worth between 290,000 and 700,000 won will be provided to 1.17 million vulnerable households. This is a four-fold increase from the 152,000 won that was temporarily provided in the winter. From now on, we will learn about applying for energy vouchers and heating support in 2024.
What is an energy voucher?
The energy voucher project is a system that reduces the burden of energy use on low-income people in economic crisis. Receive a subsidy for heating costs as well.

This means supporting the costs of purchasing electricity, gas, district heating, kerosene, and briquettes. Starting in 2024, heating cost support of 701,300 won will be provided to vulnerable groups, which is double the amount from last year. Please note that you can receive it in each region.
Support amount by household
As part of measures to support heating facilities for vulnerable groups, energy vouchers will be temporarily increased in 2024. Vulnerable groups such as households receiving basic livelihood assistance and elderly people with diseases can receive up to 700,000 won, including summer and winter seasons.
Single-person household: 295,200 won
Two-person household: 407,500 won
3-person household: 532,700 won
Household of 4: 701,300 won
The voucher amount provided to each household varies per household. You can also use a portion of your winter voucher as a summer voucher. The balance of your summer voucher can be used as a winter voucher. The above amount is not the monthly support amount.
