Government reserves 3.8 million euros for 'Solidarity Gas Cylinder' in 2027
The government has authorized a 3.8 million euro budget for 2027 to potentially continue the 'Solidarity Gas Cylinder' (Botija de Gás Solidária) support scheme, which provides 25 euros per cylinder. Additionally, the funding for 2026 has been increased by approximately 2 million euros to ensure the current 25 euro subsidy remains in place until December 31, 2026. The support is available to households benefiting from the social electricity tariff or receiving minimum social benefits.
Why it mattersIf you are a low-income resident or beneficiary of social electricity tariffs, this confirms that the 25-euro gas cylinder subsidy remains active through the end of 2026, with funding secured to potentially extend it into 2027.
