Fundo Social para o Clima (EU Social Climate Fund)
European money meant to soften the rise in fuel and heating costs caused by [[CELE 2]] for low-income households and transport users. In Portugal it is allocated through the Plano Social para o Clima: €1.6 billion up to 2032. As of 9 September 2026, the plan was awaiting approval by the European Commission.
Where you come across it. Talk about the carbon charge, help with fuel and heating, arguments over who counts as a vulnerable household.
Who will receive the money has not yet been decided. When [[PRR]] money was handed out, households on the [[tarifa social de energia]] were counted as vulnerable; the government is asking for the group to be defined more broadly.
