Is my energy supplier obligated to compensate me for the electricity feed-in?

No, each energy supplier is free to choose whether or not to pay you a feed in fee, neither is the feed in tariff set by the government. There are quite large differences between the fee the energy suppliers are willing to pay you. Be sure to check out our Feed In Tariffs overview table.

What is the average feed in amount I'll get?

Your final feed in fee depends on the amount of generated electricity that you put on the grid. Calculation example: for a residual of 2,000 kWh, your compensation currently varies from € 33 with Eneco to € 91 with Engie. Be sure to check out the Feed In Tariff overview table for all the latest prices.

Can I sell my electricity to any energy provider?

Most energy suppliers only pay a feed in tariff to their own customers, who have a delivery contract that stipulates an injection fee. In our overview you will find all current tariffs along with their injection fees.

Are feed in tariffs available in Wallonia ?

No, for the time being feed in tariffs are only available to inhabitants of Flanders and Brussels. It is expected that Wallonia will follow soon, yet no dates are announced yet.

Must I have a digital meter reading unit?

Yes, only if you have a digital meter reading unit at home (and solar panels!) can you apply for feed in feeds. A digital meter can register your usage from the grid and your feed in amount separately, thus ensuring a correct calculation of your consumption and yield.

What is meant by the margin?

The margin indicates the difference between the price you get paid when generating excess electricity vs. the price you pay when using electricity from the grid. Feed-In tariffs are exempt from VAT, so the margin is calculated on the prices without VAT.

Which energy supplier offers the best price for your generated electricity?

If you have solar panels and a digital meter reading unit, you can choose an energy tariff which compensates you for the power generated that you inject/feed into the energy grid network. All the electricity that you do not use by yourself, your energy supplier buys from you. The price received is expressed in euro cents per kWh and is also called a feed-in tariff.

We compare these energy suppliers

Please note that a supplier is not obligated to pay you a compensation for generated electricity. Some suppliers do not (yet) offer fees, yet some do. The compensation fee is always less than the price you pay for the electricity you use.
