How does the retroactive investment premium help solar panel owners in Belgium?
The introduction of the retroactive investment premium aims to compensate solar panel owners who have not yet recouped their initial investments after transitioning to digital meters. This initiative is crucial for those affected by the removal of the reverse meter system. Key points include:
- Over 240,000 families may still qualify for this financial aid.
- Averaging €1,553 per household, many beneficiaries are unaware of their eligibility.
- A significant number of households have resisted installing digital meters despite outreach efforts.
The future looks promising as nearly 2.6 million digital meters have been installed in Flanders, with plans to complete the rollout by 2029. It’s essential for homeowners to stay informed about these changes and take advantage of available resources. Are you aware of your rights and options? Don’t miss out on potential compensation!
