Fluvius to drill beneath medieval culvert and the River Demer to strengthen the energy network in Aarschot
On Monday 17 August, Fluvius will begin the final phase of the renewal of the electricity and gas networks in Aarschot. In doing so, the network operator is preparing the energy network in the ‘City of Statues’ for the future. Work carried out during an earlier phase led to a remarkable discovery: a medieval culvert was found to lie exactly on the planned route of the new electricity cables. To protect this historic structure, Fluvius carried out a guided drilling operation beneath the culvert and the River Demer in early July.

Half as many complaints about solar panels despite strong growth
The number of complaints about failing solar panel inverters has more than halved in recent years. According to Fluvius, this positive trend is set to continue into 2026, thanks to a structural improvement in the quality of the low-voltage grid.
