It is worth switching gas and electricity supplier?

The only component of your energy bill that is subject to competition is the price per kWh you pay your supplier. The transmission and distribution tariffs as well as the taxes are set by CREG, the federal energy regulator. These costs make up a large part of your total bill, but you  shouldn’t overlook the tariffs set by your supplier, especially since the liberalization of the energy market. This is when many suppliers arrived on the market and the competition really started.

As an energy expert, Comparateur-Energie.be advises you to change your pricing plan or supplier without delay if you think your bills are too high. However, CREG advises consumers against choosing a fixed rate for the moment. The regulator has confirmed that the way prices have increased indicates that they will only go down in the future.
