CREG Sociaal tarief is a variable rate. We always make the best possible estimate of the annual price of each contract. We calculate these according to the expected energy prices for the next 12 months. However, prices may change due to changing market conditions or government decisions. The price calculation is based on october 2026 tariffs.

Below you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about CREG Sociaal tarief. Is your question not listed? Feel free to contact us.
Yes, CREG Social Tariff is a indexed tariff of indefinite duration, i.e. the consumption price per kWh fluctuates every few month(s). The kWh price can therefore rise and fall during the term of your contract. CREG can alter the price formula at any moment, whilst giving a proper heads up to the customer. You can find all the price information and indexation formula in the tariff sheets.
When you switch suppliers, your new supplier CREG takes care of everything. They will contact both your local grid operator and your previous energy supplier. Your switch usually follows 30 days after your request, but you can also choose a switch date yourself up to 6 months in the future. If you have requested a new connection or move, CREG also takes care of everything, and then everything can be set up even faster.
Consumers are always entitled to a free cancellation period of 2 weeks after application. For this, you need to contact your new supplier yourself, or contact your current supplier and ask them to stop the switch. Business users are not entitled to 2 weeks' notice.
No, consumers in Belgium are still allowed to switch suppliers for free, and without giving any reason. You are not bound to a fixed contract duration. However, sometimes early termination means you lose your welcome discounts. We therefore advise you to remain a customer for at least one year before requesting an energy switch.
When the original contract term of 1 or 2 years is about to expire, CREG will notify you. In this, they will offer you a new contract proposal with the same or similar tariff plan. This is the moment you should definitely come and compare your energy contract again on DareToCompare.be.
CREG Sociaal tarief is available throughout Belgium.
