Capacity tariff in Flanders as of 2022

As of 1 January 2022 in Flanders the network costs will be calculated primarily on the basis of capacity. As a result, those who cause current peaks will have to pay more. The VREG hopes in this way to limit peaks in consumption so that no heavy investments in the supply network will have to be made.

This peak is calculated on the basis of the highest average quarter-hour value within a month. So a brief peak of several seconds in order to start an electrical device will have no impact. It is thus important not to use large energy consumers at the same time, but rather to spread their use out over time. 

With a home battery you´re already well prepared for this, because the consumption will be flattened out. Yet another reason to buy a home battery in the future.
