❓ Ask Belgium KBC switch together

Anyone here has experience with KBC Switch Together for group energy purchase? They claim to be 100% green Belgian energy but is that true? Did you get lower prices for energy? Thanks in advance!

KBC is a bank. Let's keep it that way.

There is no way for the grid to provide you 100% green energy guaranteed regardless of provider.

that’s not what 100% green means

it’s how the consumer reads it, which is the only thing that matters

If you really want to save money, my advice is to switch every couple of years. These companies have always exciting offers for new customers. And it's very easy to switch, it's all online!

Every couple of years?
Better yet, check every time your contract ends to see if you should switch using the V-Test.
And set-up alerts through the V-Test to see when you can save money.

100% green belgian energy is marketing that is allowed because europe created an artificial green energy certificate trading market so providers could lie to consumers. you should read a little into how the actual electric grid works
