Belgium: 1 in 10 households energy vulnerable, 19% struggle with bills

A Belgian index shows over 10% of households face energy vulnerability, defined by bill arrears, inability to heat, or high energy cost share. Nearly 19% struggled to balance budgets or had unpaid energy/water bills in 2024, and 5% couldn't heat adequately. This signals persistent cost-of-living pressure in Belgium, with implications for social stability and potential policy responses.
