    "body": "<p>Fancy checking how much electricity you used yesterday, or how much your solar panels fed into the grid? More and more households and businesses are making a habit of it. Mijn Fluvius passed the 1.5 million unique accounts mark this week. At the end of 2021, there were just 115,000. Since then, an average of around 23,000 accounts have been added each month. This strong growth runs parallel to the roll-out of the digital meter and shows that more and more customers are actively engaging with their energy data.</p><p><strong>Free detailed information for households and businesses</strong></p><p>Anyone with digital energy meters can gain a better insight into their consumption and feed-in in various ways. This can be done via the meters&rsquo; own displays, but is much more convenient via the customer portal mijn.fluvius.be, which was launched in early 2020. </p><p>Via Mijn Fluvius, households and businesses can monitor their electricity and gas consumption free of charge. Customers with solar panels can also see how much electricity they are feeding into the grid. Those who want more detail can view their electricity consumption by quarter-hour and gas consumption by the hour. On average, there are around 2,600 unique visitors a day checking their consumption or consumption peaks.</p><p>The consumption data recorded by the digital meters is strictly personal. That is why everyone must register on the portal once in advance using eID or Itsme. Customers can, however, give permission to share the consumption data from their digital meters, for example with their energy supplier&rsquo;s app or with the V-test from the Flemish Utilities Regulator. Anyone who would like a little help in monitoring their energy consumption can easily share their data with, for example, a son, daughter or other family member.</p><div\n    id='gallery-6df6651a-542e-4745-83a2-a6b2a7e3b26b'\n    class='release-content-gallery release-content-gallery--layout-contained'\n    data-component='chromatic-gallery,image-zoom-popup'\n    data-chromatic-gallery-padding='S'\n    data-chromatic-gallery-thumbnail-size='M'\n    data-chromatic-gallery-captions='data:application/json,true'\n    data-chromatic-gallery-photos='data:application/json;base64,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'\n    data-chromatic-gallery-force-full-width='data:application/json,true'\n    data-chromatic-gallery-expand-icon='data:text/plain;base64,PHN2ZyBjbGFzcz0iaWNvbiBpY29uLWV4cGFuZCI+CiAgICAgICAgICAgICAgICA8dXNlIHhsaW5rOmhyZWY9IiNpY29uLWV4cGFuZCI+PC91c2U+CiAgICAgICAgICAgIDwvc3ZnPg=='\n    data-image-zoom-popup-selector='.chromatic-gallery__photo'\n    data-image-zoom-popup-i18n='data:application/json;base64,eyJEb3dubG9hZCI6IkRvd25sb2FkIn0='\n    data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-view-event='Story Image View'\n    data-image-zoom-popup-tracking-download-event='Story Image Download'\n    data-image-zoom-popup-placement='content'\n></div><p><strong>Digital meters enable smarter energy use</strong></p><p>The digital meter does more than just automatically transmit meter readings. It gives customers insight into their consumption and feed-in. Through a growing number of market players, such as energy suppliers and service providers, the digital meter enables new applications, such as monthly billing, dynamic energy contracts and smart controls. At the same time, the meter data helps Fluvius to monitor the electricity grid more effectively and plan investments more effectively.</p><p>Today, 85 per cent of Flanders has digital energy meters, totalling 5,200,000 meters for electricity and natural gas combined. This milestone of 1.5 million accounts shows that more and more customers are actually using the digital meter to gain insight into their energy consumption. </p><p><em><strong>Would you like to find out more about the possibilities offered by digital energy meters or register at mijn.fluvius.be?
