Mission
The Flemish Energy Agency has the following tasks:
- The promotion and support of the use of renewable energy and green energy;
- The promotion and support of energy conservation by means of:
- building standards with regards to energy;
- emission trading;
- covenants with the industry;
- energy demand management;
- reporting in the field of energy economics;
- The development and execution of social energy policy;
- Communication to the industry and general public with regard to these aforementioned issues.
The agency works closely with other Flemish agencies and administrations, as well as with the federal and local governments to develop new decrees and regulations and to enforce existing energy regulations. To enforce the compliance to energy regulations, the agency has the power to impose administrative sanctions, for instance fines, as punishment for non-compliance.

“It is the mission of the twentieth century to elucidate the irrational.”
