Electricity and gas bills reach highest level in three years

In August 2023, the annual bill for electricity and natural gas for an average Flemish household increased to its highest level in three years. According to figures from the Flemish Regulatory Authority for the Electricity and Gas Market, this increase is also reflected in the natural gas bill, which has similarly reached a three-year high.

Reports indicate that prices for electricity and gas are currently significantly higher than in previous years, as confirmed by various news sources. This has implications for the costs of new energy contracts, with consumers expected to pay more.
