Energy
Nowadays everyone is mindful of energy consumption
and prices, which can constitute a sizeable expense.
You can find more information on the website of the
Flemish Regulation Entity for the Electricity and
Gas market (VREG). They offer a tool to compare
energy prices, to allow you to find the cheapest
provider (only in Dutch).
