Electricity labelling
The electricity label is intended to inform the customer about the environmental impact and the composition of the electricity by energy source. Suppliers active in the Grand Duchy must send it to their customers at least once a year with an electricity bill.
The label, which provides information for the past year, helps the customer to compare offers and products from different suppliers in terms of energy composition and environmental impact.
