Join Energilia Brussels:
savings and greener energy

The 4 main advantages of joining Energilia Brussels 

1. Exemption from the ‘green energy contribution'

The green energy contribution is a cost passed on to consumers by electricity suppliers. It corresponds to the purchase of green certificates imposed on suppliers to support the production of renewable energy. 

 By joining an Energilia Brussels, you participate directly in the energy transition by consuming green, local electricity. You are no longer dependent on traditional support mechanisms, which means you are exempt from this contribution. In 2024, this means a direct saving of 27.9 euros per MWh consumed, or around 10% of your bill..

2. Lower convenience costs

Convenience refers to the cost of electricity as a product, i.e. the price of the electrons you consume, irrespective of ancillary costs such as transmission, distribution or taxes.

When you pay your electricity bill, several elements are included :

• The cost of the commodity - this is the price of the electricity itself, billed per kilowatt-hour (kWh).
• Network charges - these cover the cost of transporting electricity via transmission and distribution infrastructures.
• Taxes and contributions - these finance various energy policies, in particular renewable energies.

By joining an Energilia Brussels, you buy local, shared electricity, which means you pay less than with traditional supplier tariffs. In concrete terms, with Energilia, the convenience costs for an SME fall from an average of €120 to around €100, depending on the consumption profile.

3. A stable price over time

Joining Energilia Brussels means benefiting from a stable price by reducing dependence on fluctuations in the energy market. By giving priority to locally produced electricity, members avoid price rises linked to geopolitical crises and fluctuations in the cost of fossil fuels. What's more, tariffs are set within the community rather than by traditional suppliers, guaranteeing lower prices and greater cost predictability.

4. 100% green, local energy

In addition to the savings made, Energilia guarantees you 100% green and local electricity, produced in Brussels. For example, the energy used by Quartier Libre in Uccle comes directly from the Abattoirs d'Anderlecht and other members of Energilia Brussels. By joining the community, you are actively contributing to the energy transition while benefiting from more sustainable and responsible electricity.
