The vouchers will include a unique code, the name and VAT number of the beneficiary, the mobile phone, the device category, the aid rate, the home address and the benefit number.<\/p>\n\n<p>For the purchase of new electrical appliances, a <strong>list of suppliers<\/strong> will be compiled, while they should be <strong>energy class A2+<\/strong> and above.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-&#x3C3;&#x3B7;&#x3BC;&#x3B1;&#x3BD;&#x3C4;&#x3B9;&#x3BA;&#x3AD;&#x3C2;-&#x3B7;&#x3BC;&#x3B5;&#x3C1;&#x3BF;&#x3BC;&#x3B7;&#x3BD;&#x3AF;&#x3B5;&#x3C2;-&#x3B3;&#x3B9;&#x3B1;-&#x3B5;&#x3C0;&#x3B9;&#x3C7;&#x3BF;&#x3C1;&#x3AE;&#x3B3;&#x3B7;&#x3C3;&#x3B7;-&#x3B7;&#x3BB;&#x3B5;&#x3BA;&#x3C4;&#x3C1;&#x3B9;&#x3BA;&#x3CE;&#x3BD;-&#x3C3;&#x3C5;&#x3C3;&#x3BA;&#x3B5;&#x3C5;&#x3CE;&#x3BD;\"><strong>For the purchase of new electrical appliances, a list of suppliers will be compiled, while they should be energy class A2+ and above.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>It is also noted that <strong>the platform will open gradually<\/strong> depending on the final digit of the VAT number.

For example, for a family of four, both parents can make two separate applications for different residences each.<\/p>\n\n<p>Those who are not selected due to low credits will remain <strong>runners-up<\/strong> in the event of an increase in programme funding.<\/p>\n\n<p>If the application is approved, the consumer will receive electronically and on the <strong>mobile phone<\/strong> a code corresponding to the subsidy to which he is entitled and will buy the device at the reduced price from the store he wants (if he participates in the program).
