The applications for the power pass reached 75,000 from the Friday afternoon when the operation of the platform started until this time. In fact, yesterday within a few hours the number of submitted applications reached 37,000, while today at noon this number has already been far exceeded.
It should be reminded that the subsidy concerns the electricity bills of the first residence or student housing within Greece, which were issued during the period from 01-12-2021 until 31-05-2022.
The subsidy rate amounts to 60% of the increase in the electricity price of the first home and, depending on the amount of the bills, can amount to up to 600 euros.
The application process will last until June 30. During the first days of its operation, the platform will be gradually opened for the beneficiaries, depending on the last digit of their VAT number.
The operation of the platform is very simple, as you only need the citizen codes in Taxisnet and the IBAN of the account to which the grant wishes to be credited. All other data are pumped automatically through the Interoperability Center of the General Secretariat of Information Systems of Public Administration. Analytically:
1. The citizen enters the platform with his codes in Taxisnet and confirms that his details (name, VAT number, year of birth) that are displayed are correct.
2. The citizen is asked to choose whether he wants to apply for himself or for a protected member of his family.
3. The details of the main residence per month (address and supply number) are displayed on the screen. This information the beneficiary can:
– or confirm them,
– or to modify them through the platform “Main Residence Declaration for Power Pass” (https://www1.aade.gr/saadeapps3/powerpass/katoikia), which has been implemented by AADE. The citizen can be transferred to the AADE platform through vouchers.gov.gr, by clicking on the relevant field that appears below the details of first residence. The data declared on the AADE platform are registered immediately. Thus, after the beneficiary fills in the correct details of the first residence, he can return to the Power Pass platform and complete his application.
4. The fields appear on the same page so that the citizen can fill in his e-mail, IBAN and the name of the banking institution where his bank account is kept.
5. By clicking “Submit”, the citizen completes the application process.
For as long as the application platform remains open, a pre-check will be carried out and notifications will be sent to the citizens for any corrections (non-existent provision, incorrect account category, etc.). The clearance of applications, the determination of the refund amount and its payment to the beneficiaries will take place during the first ten days of July.
It is clarified that the beneficiaries can apply both for their main residence and for the student housing of protected members studying in Greece. In these cases, the citizen can submit up to three additional applications for protected members, each time following the above steps.
In addition, for those who are required to file a tax return for the first time for the tax year 2021, it is necessary to submit the tax return before applying for the Power Pass. In this case, the net family income, after deduction of taxes, of the tax year 2021 will be taken into account.
