Coverage of the investment costs for End Users connected to the Belgian grid for the consumption of natural gas

Request a gas connection or adapt your existing gas connection

End Users may request a gas connection or adopt their existing gas connection. To facilitate this, works may need to be carried out on your property (private domain) and/or the Fluxys network (public domain).

The costs for these works depend on several factors, including the length and diameter of the connection, as well as the complexity of the required works.

Works on the private domain

All costs related to works carried out by Fluxys on your private domain are entirely borne by you. These costs will be specified in your Offer and must be paid according to the following schedule:

• 25% upon signature of the Offer;
• 25% upon procurement of the required materials; and
• The remaining 50% upon commissioning of the connection.

Works on the public domain

A portion of the costs associated with works on the Fluxys network (public domain) will be covered by Fluxys. In return, you or your supplier must commit to booking the annual transmission capacity specified in your Offer for the duration indicated therein.

This long-term commitment must be secured by a financial guarantee, the amount of which will be specified in your Offer.

Any contribution to the public domain works that remains payable by you will be detailed in the Offer and must be paid according to the following schedule:

• 25% upon signature of the Offer;
• 25% upon procurement of the required materials; and
• The remaining 50% upon commissioning of the connection.

Financial guarantee requirements

The financial guarantee must be satisfied through one of the following options:

• Holding an acceptable credit rating; or
• Providing an unconditional and irrevocable parent company guarantee (PCG) issued by your parent company with an acceptable credit rating; or
• Submission of a collateral under the form of:
  o A bank guarantee, or
  o A cash deposit
