Energyprice.be and CREG Scan: two essential tools to help you choose the best energy contract
A million Belgian households could save €500 on their energy bill each year. There are several reasons for this: the complexity of the market, a surplus of ‘dormant contracts’, and households that do not compare their rates often enough. To assess this additional cost, the regulator has developed CREG Scan. This tool is the first step when it comes to switching supplier. However, it doesn’t take into account any current special offers and it doesn’t allow you to switch supplier. This is where Energyprice.be, the first CREG-certified comparison tool, comes in. It includes all these factors, which means you can choose the best contract on the market in just a few clicks.

Since the start of 2021, energy prices have risen sharply, which has had a significant impact on the gas and electricity bills of Belgian households. The reason for this is the resumption of activity post-lockdown and the price rises on the wholesale market. At present, energy prices are higher than they were before the Covid crisis. This means that Belgian households would be well advised to switch energy supplier!
Expensive dormant contracts…
The CREG has again hammered home the harmful effect of dormant contracts. As a reminder, these are contracts that are extended when they expire. They are generally outdated and expensive, and the suppliers no longer list them among their current products. For this reason, they are renewed automatically.
