In Flanders, Fluvius has already started replacing traditional meters with digital models in private homes. People with photovoltaic panels and holders of a budget meter have priority for the installation of a digital meter until the end of 2022. In Wallonia, the initial objective was to equip 80% of households with a digital meter by 2034, but the government appears to have lowered its targets. The future of digital meters is still unclear in Brussels.
