A welcome boost. This Tuesday, December 27, at 8 a.m., the government opened applications for wood energy checks on the dedicated platform, set up by the Services and Payment Agency (ASP). This check? worth 50 to 200 euros? is reserved for "70% of households heating mainly with wood", or "2.6 million households", had already indicated the Ministry of the Economy shortly before Christmas.

If the wood energy check cannot be combined with a fuel oil energy check, it is however combined with the exceptional energy check of 100 to 200 euros planned for the end of 2022.

The first checks sent mid-February
