What exactly is green electricity?
Green electricity is electricity produced from renewable energy sources, such as the sun, wind, water, or biomass. Unlike fossil fuels, its production emits very little CO₂ and contributes to the energy transition.
In an energy community, this electricity is produced locally, most often by photovoltaic panels installed at private homes, businesses, or local authorities. It is then shared among the members of the community, allowing for the consumption of renewable, local energy at often more favorable prices.

Green and cheaper chère:how is it possible?
Because electricity is exchanged in a short circuit, directly between the members of the energy community, without going through the traditional market intermediaries.
The price of electricity is collectively set by the community and is guaranteed to be 20% lower than the average market price. The result is energy that is both more local, more sustainable, and more economical for all participants.

FAQ
Here are some frequently asked questions on the subject
An energy community is a grouping of citizens, neighbors, businesses, or local authorities that produce, share, and consume together locally produced green electricity. Recognized by Belgian law, it aims for renewable, local, and cheaper energy while maintaining economic value within the territory.
Almost everyone: individuals, freelancers, businesses, and local authorities connected to the distribution network in the area concerned. You can participate as a consumer (you buy the shared energy), as a producer (you sell your surplus), or as a prosumer (both).
The producer members inject their surplus green electricity into the grid. A distribution key allocates it to the consumer members of the community. You continue to use the distribution network as usual; only the shared portion is billed at the community's advantageous rate. A quarterly statement details everything.
Yes. Energy sharing covers part of your consumption; for the rest, you maintain a traditional supply contract. You also keep your meter and your connection. The community serves as a complement, without interruption or disconnection.
