One of the «tricks» that exist to pay less for electricity is through the ‘bono social’. But what exactly is the ‘bono social’ and how do you apply for it? Can anyone apply for it or do you have to meet a series of requirements?

Vulnerable customers can enjoy a 25% discount on their bill. To do so, they must be large families, pensioners with a minimum pension or have an annual income level less than or equal to 1.5 times the IPREM (if they are not part of a family unit or there are no dependent minors), 2 times the IPREM (if there is 1 minor in the family unit) or 2.5 times the IPREM (if there are 2 minors) in 14 payments.

For severely vulnerable customers, the discount is 40%. For this, they must have income levels below 50% of the limits indicated for vulnerable customers, be pensioners and have an annual income less than or equal to 1 IPREM or large families with income less than 2 times the IPREM.

Being a beneficiary of the Bono Social eléctrico depends on the family unit and the annual income level. Depending on these conditions, a family can be considered as a vulnerable consumer, severe vulnerable consumer or severe vulnerable consumer at risk of social exclusion.

The Bono Social Eléctrico is an aid granted by the Government to the most vulnerable consumers (people with low income, large families, pensioners and the disabled) so that they can pay their electricity bills.

The Government has applied new measures to the Bono Social Eléctrico by which it increases the discount on the bill from 25% to 60% for vulnerable consumers and from 40% to 70% in severe vulnerable consumers. This temporary measure will be in effect until March 31, 2022.

The Bono Social de la luz, also known as Bono Social Eléctrico, is a discount on the electricity bill created by the Government in 2009 with the aim of protecting the most vulnerable consumers.

All consumers benefiting from the Bono Social Eléctrico will automatically receive the Bono Social Térmico. This is an aid for all those users who have gas heating in their homes.

The Bono Social de luz establishes an annual consumption limit based on the holder’s family unit. Therefore, electricity consumed above this limit will be charged at the PVPC price.
