Belgian consumers shop around for energy

According to a study by management consulting agency Accenture, 10 percent of Belgians would consider switching energy supplier if they could save money by doing so. The agency interviewed 4,000 Belgians, and the results were remarkably split along language lines. While 15 percent of Flemings would be willing to use the services of a different energy supplier, only four percent of consumers in Wallonia would consider making the switch. While Walloon consumers may be more reluctant to change suppliers, they rather hope that their current energy provider would help them to pay less.
