Starting in 2026, all invoices between Belgian companies will have to go through the Peppol network. But did you know that you can already receive your utility invoices in electronic format now? You can request this from the main water and energy suppliers in Belgium by filling out an online form. This quick guide explains how to activate electronic invoicing at Engie.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I start getting electronic invoices from Engie?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you own or rent a premises that\u2019s used solely for your professional activity? And do you receive separate energy bills for that premises via a professional account with Engie? If yes, you can now receive your energy bills in the form of e-invoices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be able to receive electronic invoices from Engie, you first need to be registered on Peppol. Have you already signed up? Great, then keep reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not yet registered on Peppol? Then start here: Receiving e-invoices: first, register on Peppol<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do this, simply activate electronic invoicing on your Engie professional account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Complete the\u00a0Engie online form<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Engie processes your request.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The following month, you\u2019ll receive your first electronic invoice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    \u26a0\ufe0f  Electronic invoices are only possible between companies.<\/strong> So if you only receive invoices for your private home, you don\u2019t have a professional account with Engie. You therefore won\u2019t be able to receive your electronic invoices via Peppol, even if you deduct part of your energy costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What is Peppol and what is electronic invoicing?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    An important point: electronic invoices and digital invoices are not one and the same. While a PDF invoice is a digital invoice, it is not an electronic invoice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Electronic invoices, also called e-invoices, are XML files transferred in UBL format via the <\/strong>Peppol network<\/strong><\/a>. Thanks to these UBL standards, all the necessary information is included on the invoice, and it can be read by accounting or invoicing software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These software programs can automatically create, receive, and even process electronic invoices. They can even be authorised to pay invoices automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udca1 Accountable tip:<\/strong> You can use Accountable to receive and send electronic invoices via the Peppol network, even if you\u2019re using the free version. Try Accountable <\/strong><\/a>now<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Receiving e-invoices: first, register on Peppol<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To activate electronic invoicing via Peppol with Engie or any other supplier, you need to be using invoicing or accounting software. Then, it\u2019s just a question of signing up with Peppol. Registration is simple and free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here’s how to register via Accountable:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Log in via the website or app.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Open the menu and click on ‘Settings’.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Select \u2018Peppol (e-invoicing)\u2019.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Register to receive electronic invoices via the Peppol network.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      It can take a while for your registration to be active. To see if it worked, check if your company is registered in the\u00a0Peppol\u00a0Directory<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Electronic invoices from your suppliers? Now it\u2019s automatic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      After registering with Peppol, you sometimes need to activate electronic invoicing with a supplier, as in the case of Engie. For other suppliers who are already using e-invoicing, the switch may be automatic.\u00a0Your electronic invoices will then appear just as automatically in the expenses tab in Accountable.<\/strong>\u00a0More time saved!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
