Except for some exceptional cases, all buildings and housing in Brussels can be connected to the natural gas network.
Work to connect you to the natural gas network is performed by your distribution network operator (for example Sibelga in Brussels) and costs approximately €400. The connection request can be made online.
2 exceptions
There are 2 exceptional situations when a natural gas connection is not possible:
- in very outlying streets or roads at the edge of the city.
- with new allotments.
If you're in one of these two situations, contact your network operator to check that a connection to the gas network is possible.
How do I submit a request to connect to the gas network in Brussels?
Fill in the gas connection request form on Sibelga's website.
At the end of the process, you will be asked to submit some photos of your location. Please submit very clear photos, which give a comprehensive view of your location. This will help to speed up the process as an engineer will not need to be sent to verify the location.
When doing so, please submit photos:
- of the room where the meters will be placed;
- of the location where the pipes go into the building (indoor and outdoor photos);
- of any current meters.
