The Belgium Federale Bijdrage (Federal Contribution) for electricity usage comprises several components and is also dependent on whether you have opted for renewable energy sources.
 
The Federale Bijdrage is therefore highly specific to each user. Please contact us via our contact page to find out more about the Federale Bijdrage in your specific situation.
