665.000 tonnes de co2 économisées : merci de votre confiance !
Cher Client,
Nous avons clôturé l’année sur une note positive et optimiste : le nombre de clients a augmenté de manière significative ce qui est un signe évident de la prise de conscience plus marquée de la part des « consomm-acteurs » actuels. De plus en plus de familles décident de maîtriser sérieusement leur empreinte écologique avec Lampiris. L’électricité 100% verte et 100% garantie fait partie d’une démarche globale de consommation responsable et nous pouvons en mesurer les effets bénéfiques : avec Lampiris, une famille de quatre personnes économise 1,6 tonne de co2 par an et plus de 250€!
Tout comme nous, vous savez que seule une mobilisation à tous les niveaux de décision et d’action permet d’obtenir des résultats significatifs. Et c’est le cas, grâce à vous ! Plus de 400.000 clients sont fournis par Lampiris : quand on sait que 350.000 clients équivalent à 665.000 tonnes de co2 en moins, l’économie réalisée chaque année grâce aux efforts de tous est évidente!
Chaque geste compte et ensemble, nous avons un impact réellement positif.

Lampiris vous présente une Belgique verte et productive !
Les producteurs d’énergie verte en Belgique permettent à Lampiris de vous fournir une électricité 100% verte et 100% garantie.
Plus de 500 producteurs indépendants actifs sur le territoire vendent leur électricité produite grâce aux sources d’énergie renouvelables : l’éolien, l’hydraulique, le photovoltaïque et la biomasse produisent l’électricité que nous pouvons garantir 100% verte puisque nous en contrôlons l’origine et le mode de production.
Nous privilégions les producteurs locaux parce que le soutien actif du tissu économique est une de nos priorités, il en va de même pour nos antennes administratives, toutes installées en Belgique. Cette attitude cohérente nous permet de revendiquer un statut d’acteur économique attentif et respectueux de son engagement sociétal. En outre, les investissements dans la recherche et le développement sont des leviers précieux pour vous garantir des prix compétitifs.

Batibouw, here we come!
Faithful to its tradition of going out of its way to meet consumers, Lampiris will be present at the Batibouw exhibition from 24 February to 6 March. This will be an opportunity for us to talk to our loyal customers, but also to explain to future customers about Lampiris' 100% green, cheaper energy. Come and say hello at our stand, no. 9317 in hall 9. We will be delighted to see you!

Belgium takes an interest in pico-turbines
Small turbines are becoming increasingly popular in Belgium. They are springing up everywhere: on streams, on sewage plant outlets... More
Solar panels in building materials
Photovoltaic panels can sometimes be unsightly, and their installation also requires the involvement of specialists such as electricians and roofers. This complexity could soon disappear with the development of photovoltaic surfaces built into construction materials. More
The Empire State Building goes green
The iconic1930s building in New York has just decided to obtain its electricity exclusively from green sources. The decision follows an operation to optimise the electrical and heating installations inside the building. More
Drinking water from sunshine and electronics
Access to drinking water is one of the most sensitive issues for the safety of populations in Africa. To achieve better results in this area, the sun's radiation combined with electronics could provide NGOs with valuable help. More
95% of electricity needs covered by renewable sources
According to the WWF, 3.5 billion euros should be spent every year on renewable energy. This would make it possible to cover 95% of our electricity needs by 2050. More
An electronic assault on towns' lighting bills
Cutting towns' electricity bills by attacking the often deplorable management of street lighting. This is the goal that specialists in the Rational Use of Energy have set themselves. More
Wooden skyscrapers - coming soon
Wooden buildings have never been given much of a chance in Belgium. The authorities responsible for planning issues would be well advised to look to the Nordic countries, where real wooden skyscrapers have already been built without any problems. More

Indoor pollution: Belgium tackles the problem head on.
The quality of the air inside our buildings is not as clean as we would like to think. To improve the situation, Belgium has decided to make the most of the European Presidency to tackle the problem head on. More
Are the soils of northern Europe under serious threat?
Erosion, pollution, destruction of biodiversity... It looks as though the soils of a large area of the UK, plus the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium and northern France are seriously under threat. More
Photovoltaic roads
Transforming roads into photovoltaic surfaces sounds like a fantasy. But from the perspective of the developments being made in this field by the US start-up Solar Roadways, what looks like a dream is in the process of being turned into very solid reality. More
Dog waste street-lights
The parks in Cambridge, Massachusetts, contain two bins for dog waste. Known as Park Spark, these two cells are able to break down dog waste to produce methane gas, which is then stored to power the public lighting system in the vicinity of the bins. More
The Paris metro is to heat community housing
Following Stockholm station and the project to recover human warmth to heat a building, it is now the turn of the Paris underground system to be the talk of the town with a similar project developed by Paris Habitat, the premier social funding body of the City of Light. More
Your TV will never look the same again
After the refrigerator and the washing machine, it must be the turn of the television set to display a European Commission-issued energy label. At present, 90% of the sets covered by labelling sold in the European Union are in category A. More

The green trend has encouraged a mass consumer migration to energy-saving lightbulbs and thermostats, but the savings to be made are not always where you might think... More
Julien Sorreau on the (green) move
Passionate about energy efficiency and the challenges raised by climate change, the French engineer Julien Sorreau set himself the goal of crossing the Americas from north to south in search of other ways of looking at the global warming problem. More
Since 2007, French consumers have also been able to change their supplier in order to make savings and help the environment. Lampiris has pushed out the boundaries by offering 100% Green Energy throughout France. Its philosophy remains the same, no matter what your geographical location: 100% green and inexpensive, while providing high-quality, straightforward and accessible service. Our website, www.lampiris.fr, contains full information about Lampiris France and its offers, and enables anyone to register with complete confidence. Over the past few years, dozen of customers (French as well as Belgians with a second home in France) have decided to join Lampiris. It’s the start of an adventure where everyone is welcome!

As you will have read in the newspapers, rising gas prices continue to receive a lot of press coverage, so much so that the subject was debated in the Chamber of Deputies on 9 March.
In response to parliamentary questions, Guido Camps, spokesperson for Belgian gas price regulator CREG, stressed that one supplier was able to sell gas at prices far below those of its competitors...
We are obviously very proud that our role as a “competitive competitor” has been recognised as such by market operators. On average, for gas and green electricity, a household can save more than €250 with Lampiri, which is a far from negligible amount.
We also want to take the opportunity to thank you for your enthusiastic response to our “Tous Au Vert” (Go Green) campaign. An increasing number of you are sending us your ideas, projects and suggestions. It is not too late to register (www.tousauvert.be) for the chance to win one year’s free green energy !
Happy reading.

Transforming grass into petrol
Transforming grass into petrol is like the dream of the philosopher’s stone, the legendary alchemical substance supposedly capable of turning lead into gold.
Electricity, under the pavements
Transforming pavements into small power plants; that is the inspired idea of Elizabeth Redmond. A few months ago the researcher launched a start-up to transform her research project into a business project. And it works...
Recycled Olympic medals
For the first time, the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games medals contain recycled gold, silver and copper. These metals are recovered from electronic scrap.
A Belgian at the head of the new DG Climate Action
The European Commission announced a few days ago its decision to create two separate Directorates-General for Energy and Climate Action. The second happy surprise is that a Belgian national, Jos Delbeke, has been appointed Director-General of the DG Climate Action.
Whitepod or skiing without harming the environment
Sustainable tourism is growing in popularity, even in the Alps, with travellers not hesitating to use a kind of igloo where everything is designed to limit the environmental impact of their stay.
As you know, Lampiris has always rooted its development in certain values.
Values that have made us an energy supplier unlike any other.
Since the beginning, this commitment has led us to respect the environment and our staff. Everything we undertake with them, and with you, is characterised by openness, dynamism and sustainability.
We wish to continue supplying your energy under these same conditions.
Energy in our own image. Energy that is green, sustainable and mindful of the environment and of humanity.
Our previous logo no longer presented these strongly-held values clearly enough.
After several years' good and faithful service, it is thus bound for a well-deserved retirement, to be replaced by our new emblem, a new logo which will better convey our values.
