Injection contract

The contract under which a supplier pays for the electricity a producer feeds into the grid. It is separate from the supply contract and its price is regulated nowhere in Belgium. Without compensation, it is the only way to monetise a surplus other than through sharing or self-consumption.

Also known as: export contract, feed-in contract
