In Belgium, the P1 port on the digital meter is used to access essential energy data. However, the way this P1 port is handled may vary depending on whether you are in Flanders, Brussels or Wallonia. Here are the specific procedures for each region:
Flanders :
If you are in Flanders, you need to open the P1 port of your digital meter via “Mijn Fluvius”, the online platform of Fluvius, the grid operator for Flanders. This will allow you to access your energy consumption data and use it for monitoring and analysis. Opening a P1 port in Flanders is generally a simple and free procedure.
Brussels:
In Brussels, the P1 port on the digital meter is usually already open when the meter is installed. This means that you do not need to take any additional steps to access your energy data via the P1 port.
Wallonia:
For Wallonia, the procedure is different. If you live in Wallonia and want to access the P1 port on your digital meter, you need to make a request to your electricity manager. This request may take some time and may incur costs. The exact costs and timeframe may vary, so it is advisable to contact your electricity manager for specific information on the procedure and any costs involved.
It is important to note that access to the P1 port allows you to collect detailed information about your energy consumption, which can help you to optimise your energy use and take energy-saving measures.
Always check the latest information from your local network manager or electricity company for the most up-to-date and accurate details of P1 access in your specific area.
