Since January 1, households in Flanders have been paying an average of 15.72 euros more for their electricity annually due to the cancellation of a discount by the Flemish government, as reported by VRT News.
The Flemish government introduced a discount two years ago to reduce the impact of green subsidies on grid costs for households in Flanders. This discount, which amounted to 67 million euros last year, has been scrapped by the current government. For an average Flemish family, this results in an additional cost of 15.72 euros per year, calculated by the Flemish Utility Regulator at the request of VRT News.
While the flemish government indicated a tax shift from electricity to gas, it remains unclear when this shift will occur. Additionally, it does not impact the annual invoice. “We are busy drawing up a proposal to reduce electricity prices,” responds the office of Flemish energy Minister Melissa Depraetere (Vooruit). “we hope to come up with a proposal as soon as possible.”
The government has not clarified whether there will be compensation for the lost discount. Despite their promise not to increase the electricity bill, the absence of a correction suggests a potential rise.
What is the difference between M1, M2, and M3 vehicle classes?
车辆类型根据用途和设计特点被分为不同的类别，主要分为M类和N类。M类车辆主要用于乘客运输，而N类车辆则专注于货物运输。具体分类如下：
- M1类：这类车辆是小型载客车，座位数不超过9座（包括驾驶员座位），且设计总质量不超过5000kg。
- M2类：这类车辆也是用于乘客运输，座位数同样有限制，但设计总质量超过M1类的限制。
- M3类：这是M2类的进一步分类，座位数不超过9座，且设计总质量超过5000kg。
N类车辆则主要用于货物运输，具体分类包括N1、N2和N3类，分别对应不同重量级别的货车。
这些分类有助于在车辆设计、制造和使用过程中进行规范和管理，确保不同类型的车辆能够满足相应的安全和性能标准。
