Research into the potential of hydrogen - Sibelga is studying the potential of alternative gases such as hydrogen. To do this, we have received funding from the Energy Transition Fund.

Successful transition to rich gas in Brussels

Since 2022, the entire gas distribution network in Brussels has been switched to rich gas. This transition was necessary to secure the supply to the population of Brussels.

Digitization

Optical fiber at the heart of Sibelga’s strategy

Since 2014, Sibelga has been rolling out its own optical fiber infrastructure in Brussels. An essential investment to enhance the reliability of its electricity and gas distribution networks.

Brussels' street lighting enters the digital age

Since 2021, Sibelga has been installing "smart" LEDs on its public lighting network, a real revolution that not only saves energy but also improves lighting quality for all Brussels residents.

Smart meters: the key to a sustainable future

By 2030, 80% of Brussels residents should have their home fitted with a smart meter. This is an essential step in paving the way for a more sustainable energy future and ensuring the stability of the electricity grid.
