Taking out an annual contract for natural gas or electricity has never been more expensive than this month. In July the price was already at its highest level ever and this month it became even more expensive. The annual price for electricity for a family amounts to 2,154 euros and for gas it is no less than 3,791 euros. That is a respective increase of 521 and 1,048 euros in one month. This is apparent from the figures of the Flemish energy regulator VREG. It could be even higher this winter, experts warn.
