Energy returned to the Chamber through the 2023–2028 legislature, from the sixth extension of the crisis aid for company gas and electricity costs in February 2024 to the tripartite energy price aid announced in June 2026. The sittings covered the price caps on electricity, gas and heating fuels, network tariffs and the role of the regulator ILR, the build-out of wind, photovoltaic and hydrogen capacity, nuclear power, and the effect of energy prices on households and on industry. The quotes below are taken verbatim from the Compte rendu officiel of each sitting.
\nOn 27 February 2024, during the debate on bill 8348 extending the crisis aid for company gas and electricity costs, Octavie Modert stated that this is the sixth extension of the July 2022 law and gave her group's agreement.

\nOn 18 December 2025, in the debate on bill 8596 under which the State pays part of the electricity network costs for 2026, Jeff Boonen stated his party's support for the 150 million euro measure.
\n\n\nMir begréissen als CSV, dass hei 150 Milliounen Euro an de Grapp geholl ginn, fir de Stroumpräis weider kompetitiv ze halen.
\n
As the CSV we welcome that 150 million euros are being put on the table here to keep the electricity price competitive.

\nOn 24 April 2024, during the presentation of the energy transition part of the national reform programme, Gilles Baum argued that many households cannot pay for an energy renovation up front.
\n\n\nJo, mir mussen d’Leit alleguer mat op de Wee vun der Transitioun huelen. Mee net all Mënsch kann 20.000 oder 30.000 Euro fir déi energeetesch Sanéierung vu sengem Haus op den Dësch leeën!
\n
Yes, we must take everybody along on the road of the transition. But not everyone can put 20,000 or 30,000 euros on the table for the energy renovation of their house!
\nSitting of 24 April 2024, Gilles Baum, DP
\nOn 18 December 2025, on bill 8596 on the State share of the electricity network costs, Carole Hartmann set out, as rapporteur, the aim of the bill she reports on.
\n\n\nD’Stroumpräisser sollen iwwert déi nächst Joren nohalteg stabiliséiert ginn, an dat ouni zréckzegoen op e Stroumpräisdeckel, well mir haut net méi an enger Energiekris sinn.
\n
Electricity prices are to be stabilised sustainably over the coming years, without returning to a price cap, because we are no longer in an energy crisis today.
\nSitting of 18 December 2025, Carole Hartmann, DP
\nOn 4 December 2024, during the debate on extending the energy price caps beyond 31 December, Georges Engel stated his party's view that the subsidies should have been kept.
\n\n\nDuerfir hätt een eiser Meenung no déi Subventiounen hei solle bäibehalen.
\n
That is why, in our view, these subsidies should have been kept.
\nSitting of 4 December 2024, Georges Engel, LSAP
\nOn 9 June 2026, in the debate on the tripartite agreement and its price aid on all energy sources, Taina Bofferding accepted the fossil price brake only as a temporary measure.
\n\n\nEng Präisbrems op fossillen Energien ass fir eis akzeptabel, soulaang se nëmmen temporär ass, well laangfristeg musse mer eis Ofhängegkeet vu fossillen Energië reduzéieren a komplett op erneierbar Energië setzen.
\n
A price brake on fossil energy is acceptable to us as long as it is only temporary, because in the long run we must reduce our dependence on fossil energy and go fully for renewables.
\nSitting of 9 June 2026, Taina Bofferding, LSAP
\nOn 12 June 2024, in the debate on the climate bonus scheme and the electricity price cap, Fred Keup argued that only nuclear power can deliver carbon-neutral energy supply in Europe.
\n\n\nA wann Der wierklech wëllt eng CO2-neutral Energieversuergung an Europa hunn, dann ass dat eenzegt, wat fonctionéiert, Här Frieden, dat, wat Der eng Kéier esou hallef proposéiert hat virun zwee, dräi Méint, dat ass an Europa d’Atomkraaft.
\n
And if you really want a carbon-neutral energy supply in Europe, then the only thing that works, Mr Frieden, the thing you half proposed two or three months ago, is nuclear power in Europe.
\nSitting of 12 June 2024, Fred Keup, ADR
\nOn 18 December 2025, on bill 8596 on the State share of the electricity network costs, Tom Weidig argued against price caps and subsidies in general, although his party votes for the bill.
\n\n\nÉischtens gëtt de Bierger net duerch de Präisdeckel finanziell entlaascht, well hien dat jo selwer mat sengen eegene Steiersue finanzéiere muss.
\n
First, the citizen is not financially relieved by the price cap, because he has to finance it himself with his own tax money.
\nSitting of 18 December 2025, Tom Weidig, ADR
\nOn 18 December 2024, on the motion asking for an evaluation of the new network tariff structure and of the halved price cap, Sam Tanson criticised the reduction of the electricity price cap.
\n\n\nObwuel virun allem d’Elektreschpräisser nach ee Joer sécher wäerten héich bleiwen, gëtt den Deckel um Elektresch ëm d’Hallschent erofgeschrauft. Et ass dat falscht Signal zum falsche Moment.
\n
Although electricity prices in particular will certainly stay high for another year, the cap on electricity is being cut by half. That is the wrong signal at the wrong moment.
\nSitting of 18 December 2024, Sam Tanson, déi gréng
\nOn 20 May 2026, on her motion asking for six measures to speed up the energy transition, Joëlle Welfring gave the reason for the higher heat pump subsidy asked for in the first point of her motion.
\n\n\nAn dofir soe mir, dass et ganz wichteg ass, virum nächste Wanter d’Leit ze schütze virun deenen awer ganz staark schwankende fossillen Energiepräisser.
\n
And so we say it is very important to protect people before next winter from these strongly fluctuating fossil energy prices.
\nSitting of 20 May 2026, Joëlle Welfring, déi gréng
\nOn 30 October 2025, during the heure d'actualité on nuclear policy and the alternative of renewables, grids and storage, Marc Goergen told the minister that households are now paid about 3 cents for the solar power they feed into the grid.
\n\n\nMir hunn awer am Moment de Problem, dass Der fir déi Sonnenenergie, déi Dir maacht, zum Beispill elo 3 Cent kritt hutt, wann Der se an de Reseau ginn hutt.
\n
But we have the problem at the moment that for the solar power you produce you have now been paid, for example, 3 cents when you put it into the grid.
\nSitting of 30 October 2025, Marc Goergen, Piraten
\nOn 4 December 2024, moving the motion co-signed by the LSAP and the Piraten, David Wagner presented his request to extend the energy price cap by one year.
\n\n\nMir sinn der Meenung, datt de Präisdeckel fir d’Energie, deen elo den 31. Dezember soll oflafen, nach ëm ee Joer soll verlängert ginn.
\n
We take the view that the energy price cap, which is due to expire on 31 December, should be extended by another year.
\nSitting of 4 December 2024, David Wagner, déi Lénk
\nOn 13 June 2024, answering a question-hour question on the announced phase-out of the energy price caps, the Prime Minister justified the phase-out on the grounds that the crisis is over.
\n\n\nMir sinn eebe justement hei net méi an enger Kris, dofir maache mer jo och dee sougenannte Phasing-out, well d’Präisser vun der Energie elo erëm gefall sinn.
\n
We are precisely no longer in a crisis here, which is why we are doing the so-called phasing-out, because energy prices have now fallen again.
\nSitting of 13 June 2024, Luc Frieden, Premier ministre
\nOn 13 February 2025, answering the question élargie on the steel sector, US import tariffs and electricity prices, the Minister of the Economy, SMEs, Energy and Tourism stated his view of the main threat to industry.
\n\n\nWa mer d’Energiepräisser an der EU net an de Grëff kréien, dann hu mer muer keng Industrie méi!
\n
If we do not get energy prices in the EU under control, then tomorrow we will have no industry left!
\nSitting of 13 February 2025, Lex Delles, Ministre de l’Économie, des PME, de l’Énergie et du Tourisme
\nOn 9 June 2026, in the government declaration on the tripartite agreement, the Prime Minister announced time-limited price aid on all energy sources.
\n\n\nEng vun den zentralen Decisiounen ass eng zäitbegrenzten Energiepräishëllef op allen Energiesourcen: beim Stroum, Bensinn, Diesel, Masutt a Gas.
\n
One of the central decisions is time-limited energy price aid on all energy sources: electricity, petrol, diesel, heating oil and gas.
\nSitting of 9 June 2026, Luc Frieden, Premier ministre
