According to official sources, the measure seeks access fairer and more equitable to the energy services of Argentines. For this reason, the form makes it possible to identify the households that need the subsidy, taking into account that 90% of the country’s users are in the middle-income and lower-income segments, therefore they will continue to receive the subsidy.
These are the 10 key questions to sign up and not lose the subsidies:
1. When to complete the form?
