Distribution rates electricity

You can find out how our rates are calculated on the Brugel website.  These are revised every 5 years using a method developed by Brugel.

Some elements of these rates may of course be adjusted over the regulatory period due to changes in specific costs that are also borne by Sibelga (for example, taxes, road charges, public service obligations, transport).

The current regulatory period for which the rates have been fixed is 2025 to 2029 inclusive.  

Discover the application conditions for the 2025-2029 period.

Electricity distribution rates

Network usage rates vary depending on the customer category :

• LV customers
  Low-voltage residential and business customers
• HV customers
  Business customers directly connected to a high-voltage sub-station (> 1 kV)

Energy sharing distribution rates

More detailed information about the modification of distribution rates under energy sharing is available on the Brugel website.

A distinction is made depending on the power of the connection:

• LV ≤ 56 kVA: Low-voltage customers where the capacity is lower than or equal to 56 kVA.
• HV > 56 kVA: High-voltage customers where the capacity is greater than 56 kVA.
• MV: Medium-voltage customers.

In addition, there are 4 sub-categories:

• Type A: Participants are supplied by energy generated in the building in which they reside.
• Type B: Participants are supplied by the same LV transformer station.
• Type C: Participants are supplied by the same "Elia" substation.
• Type D: Participants are supplied by different "Elia" substations.

Example of energy sharing distribution costs

If you opt for energy sharing, the distribution rates become more cost-effective depending on the location of the participants in the same electrical scope (see the 4 types above).

Type A (all participants are based in the same building) is the most cost-effective.

Below is a simulation for an annual consumption of 1,000 kWh consumption in the 2025 tariff year, for a customer with a capacity of less than 56 kVA. The prices do not include VAT or the PSO fee.
