The Brussels-Capital Region has introduced a green certificate scheme to encourage the adoption of electricity generation systems that emit less carbon, such as cogeneration and plants that use sources of renewable energy.
All electricity suppliers in the Brussels-Capital Region must purchase an annual quota of green certificates proportional to the volume of electricity it sells on the Brussels market. Failure to do so will result in a fine. For more information, see the website of BRUGEL (BRUxelles Gaz Electricité), the Brussels energy regulator (FR/NL).
