Special Assistance for Energy Costs in Rijswijk

Rising energy bills in Rijswijk? The Municipality of Rijswijk offers special assistance for necessary energy costs, especially for those on minimum incomes. This is often a one-time grant to prevent acute problems.

Entitlement and Procedure in Rijswijk

  • Target Group: Social assistance recipients and minimum income households with disproportionate energy costs, such as in Rijswijk-Zuid where many flats are located.
  • Amount: Up to €1,200 per household per year, depending on income, household composition, and recent tariff increases (according to Rijswijk policy rules 2023).
  • Application: Online via rijswijk.nl/bijstand, or at the Rijswijk Customer Contact Centre (KCC) with recent energy bills, income statement, and proof of payment problems.

In Rijswijk, the policy varies by situation; check the current Rijswijk Individual Income Supplement Ordinance on the municipal website. Extra budget is available for energy-saving measures such as insulation via the Rijswijk Sustainability Fund. Alternative: the energy allowance for households below the poverty line. Prevent debts by applying in time at the KCC on Fahrenheitstraat. Rijswijk also encourages the Energy Savings Fund for loans. (248 words)
