Bill 8561 (\"Marché de l'électricité\"). The Chamber debated and voted it on 17 March 2026.
\nSittings: Sitting of 17 March 2026
\nBill 8561 amending the 2007 electricity market law to transpose EU rules on energy sharing, energy communities, metering data and grid cybersecurity, adopted by 58 votes to none with 2 abstentions.
\nGuy Arendt (DP), describing what the bill's provisions cover:
\n\n\nBei dësen Dispositioune geet et ëm d’Vereinfachung vun der Autoconsommation an dem Encadrement vum Deele vum Stroum.
\n
These provisions are about simplifying self-consumption and framing the sharing of electricity.
\nSitting of 17 March 2026, Guy Arendt, DP
\nJeff Boonen (CSV), arguing that shared electricity is used most efficiently:
\n\n\nEt ass nämlech esou: Wann Der Stroum deelt, ass en ëmmer am effizientsten agesat, well en direkt do consomméiert gëtt, wou e gebraucht gëtt.
\n
It is like this: when you share electricity, it is always used most efficiently, because it is consumed directly where it is needed.
\nSitting of 17 March 2026, Jeff Boonen, CSV
\nGeorges Engel (LSAP), warning that the many parallel regimes make the system more complex:
\n\n\nD’Multiplikatioun vu verschiddene Regimmer fir Autoconsommatioun, fir Communautéiten an Energiedeele riskéiert, d’Komplexitéit vum System ze erhéijen an zu Onsécherheeten ze féieren.
\n
The multiplication of different regimes for self-consumption, for communities and for energy sharing risks increasing the complexity of the system and leading to uncertainty.
