Biggest electricity suppliers in Brussels (Belgium) 2020, by market share

With over 60 percent of the market share in 2020, Engie Electrabel reached the highest market share of electricity supply in the Brussels-Capital Region. The Belgian daughter of the French multinational Engie was, therefore, leading the market in this region of Belgium in 2020. Lampiris was the second-largest supplier, holding a market share of just under 19 percent. In Belgium, the major electricity providers were Engie Electrabel, Lampiris, and EDF-Luminus.

Belgian electricity providers face regional differences

Belgium is a country where regions and language communities have strong identities. The market for electricity suppliers is therefore different from one region to another, thus the share of providers on a national scale being nonsensical. From a regional perspective, Electrabel was leading the market in Wallonia and Flanders. However, Luminus was the second-largest provider in both regions, outcompeting Lampiris. In Flanders, the third-largest electricity provider was Eneco, further surpassing Lampiris. In 2018, Belgium produced 74.6 terawatt-hours and registered an unstable production since 2001.

The price of electricity in the Brussels-Capital region

In 2018, the annual residential electricity bill reached 783 euros in the Brussels-Capital Region (based on a consumption of 3.500 kWh from a single meter with a low-voltage network). However, the invoice was heftier in Wallonia and especially in Flanders, where it reached over a thousand euros. The inhabitants of the Brussels-Capital Region were, therefore, paying the least for their electricity compared to other parts of the country.
