Belgian electricity providers face regional differences

Belgium is a country where regions and language communities have strong identities. As such, the market for electricity suppliers is different from one region to another. While Electrabel was also leading the market in the Wallon and Flemish regions, Luminus was the second-largest provider in both regions, outcompeting Lampiris. In Flanders, the third-largest electricity provider was Eneco, further surpassing Lampiris. In 2020, Belgium's electricity generation stood at 90 terawatt-hours.
