Families who have too little budget during the winter to charge their prepaid meter, so they do not fall without heating, may be eligible for a minimal supply of electricity or natural gas via the OCMW (Public Centre for Social Welfare). This scheme runs from November 1st to March 31st.
Those who anticipate difficulties in charging their energy are encouraged not to wait too long and to contact the OCMW of their own municipality. They will assess together with the applicant whether they are entitled to this support.
More detailed information about the conditions can be found in a specific folder and on the website of the Flemish government.
