Who is entitled to the Social Tariff?
Eligibility focuses on social categories defined by legislation and administrative practice:
- Beneficiaries of certain social support programs (minimum income, pensions, disability benefits, integration allowance, etc.).
- Individuals served by the CPAS/OCMW (Public Center for Social Action) in their municipality, subject to social assessment.
- Households and individuals with low income or in situations of vulnerability recognized by social services.
In many cases, eligibility is automatically verified by public services — which is why many beneficiaries receive the discount without having to request it.
However, if you believe you meet the requirements and are not receiving the benefit, you should request verification from CPAS or the official portal “Mon tarif social”.

Values and recent evolution (2024–2025)
The social tariff values are set and published by bodies such as the CREG (energy regulator) and updated quarterly.
Recent examples show significant variation: for the period October–December 2025, the social electricity tariff was revised to lower values compared to the previous quarter, while in other periods of 2024 there were one-off increases in response to variations in energy prices.
These fluctuations illustrate why it is important to always check the amount invested in the current quarter.
