Fluvius Faces Legal Action for Persistent IT Issues Leading to Unpaid Energy Bills in Flanders

Legal action has been initiated by the Flemish energy regulator VREG against Fluvius, as reported by Het Laatste Nieuws on Tuesday. Despite being given until June 30 to address persistent IT issues that have been ongoing for nearly three years, thousands of Flemish residents have not received an energy bill in months or even years.

In November 2021, Fluvius launched Atrias in collaboration with other Belgian grid operators. Atrias is a centralized database designed to streamline the exchange of data related to energy consumption and billing with energy providers. However, due to a software glitch, the database is not functioning as intended, leading to numerous complaints.

Currently, the EAN numbers of 21,785 Flemish households and small to medium-sized enterprises have been blocked for extended periods, some for more than half a year. VREG spokesperson Barbara Janssens stated, “We have determined that Fluvius has not resolved the situation as expected.” Since the deadline has passed, legal action will be taken, with details to be clarified in the coming week.

Fluvius responded to the situation by stating that they were not informed of specific steps involved in legal action taken against them.
