The Flemish Regulator of the electricity and gas market (VREG) introduced a new notification requirement for charging points for electric cars in June 2021. This requires owners of charging stations to declare their charging point(s) to their network operator (Fluvius, Ores, Resa, etc.).
This law was introduced because it is essential for network operators to be able to anticipate future energy needs. If the poles and their characteristics are known, operators can better anticipate peaks and thus avoid disruptions. This allows them to make targeted adjustments to the electricity distribution network.

All charging points that you connect to the low-voltage network with a charging capacity of ≥ 3.7 kW in Wallonia and Brussels and of ≥ 5 kW in Flanders must be registered with your network operator. This obligation applies to both public and private charging points and is in effect in each region.

Since Sept. 30, 2023 (Brussels) and Dec. 31, 2023, the tolerance period has ended and you effectively risk a fine if you do not comply with this obligation.

You can register your charging station through the websites of the following operators, among others:

• Fluvius (Flanders)
• Sibelga (Brussels)
• ORES (Wallonia)
• RESA (Wallonia)
• REW (Wallonia)
• AIEG (Wallonia)
• AIESH (Wallonia)

If an online form is not available on your administrator's website, you can notify them through the contact form or by email.
