The same electricity grid
Sharing uses the existing electricity grid. Smart-meter availability and technical conditions are checked before sharing starts.
UNDERSTAND ENERGY SHARING
Sunshine on one roof. Energy for more of us.
Across Brussels, people share the solar electricity they produce in surplus. BEES Energy organises that sharing between community members.

Produce
Solar panels first supply the building where they are installed.
Share the surplus
Electricity not used on site can be shared with members consuming at the same time.
Cover the rest
The usual supplier provides the electricity that energy sharing does not cover.
Your supplier stays with you
You keep a contract with your usual supplier. BEES Energy bills the shared portion; your supplier bills the rest.
A price you can understand
Shared electricity costs include energy, management, grid charges and applicable taxes. The grid tariff depends on the sharing perimeter.
Sharing follows the rhythm of the sun.
Generating and consuming at the same time makes sharing possible. When practical, shifting some electricity use to sunny hours can help make more use of this energy.
The shared portion varies with generation and members’ needs. It does not automatically cover all consumption.
