Luminus set to receive nearly 30 million euros in reimbursement from the government, and additional repayments may be due to other energy providers.

Everything revolves around the so-called “federal levy” on gas and electricity, a kind of tax, and the way it was levied in the past. More specifically between 2004 and 2014. The federal levy was still introduced under the Verhofstadt government and served to finance the functioning of the regulator, the Creg, and also to allow the OCMWs to fund all kinds of energy measures.
