More than 380,000 applications for energy compensation were submitted in the first week after registration opened on the compensatii.gov.md platform, according to the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection.

According to the institution, registrars completed 201,817 applications, while another 178,515 were submitted online. Additionally, staff on the "Green Line" (helpline) provided answers and information to more than 12,024 individuals.

The registration process began on November 2. Eligible applicants who submit their requests by November 27 will receive compensation starting from November. Those who register after this date will begin receiving financial assistance in the following months.

The amount of compensation will be calculated individually for each household after all applications are reviewed and processed.

***
Registration for compensation began on November 2 and will continue until November 27 on the platform compensatii.gov.md. From the following months onward, applications may be submitted monthly—between the 1st and the 25th of each month—with support calculated starting from the month in which the application was registered. Individuals who encounter difficulties when completing their applications may seek assistance from social workers or specialists at the unified public service centers.

After registering applications, authorities will verify household eligibility and calculate the specific amount of financial support for each case. Owning a home valued at more than 50,000 euros or a vehicle less than three years old renders an applicant ineligible for the "Ajutor la contor" ("Help at the Meter") program.

For the 2026–2027 cold season, the authorities estimate expenditures of approximately 2.7 billion lei. The number of families expected to receive energy compensation this cold season could reach approximately 670,000—an increase of 50,000 compared to last year.

Compensation amounts will range from 500 to 1,000 lei per month, depending on the heating source and the household's financial situation. The first payments—covering November—are scheduled to be issued in December, either via bank cards or through post offices.
