From 2026, all invoicing between Belgian companies must be done via the Peppol network. As a business customer, it would be convenient to start receiving all your energy invoices as e-invoices now. With Eneco, the process is quite simple. Here’s how to proceed.

What do you need to do to receive e-invoices from Eneco?

To receive electronic invoices as a business customer with Eneco, follow these steps:

What is e-invoicing and Peppol?

E-invoicing is not the same as digital invoicing, such as a PDF or a scanned invoice. An e-invoice is a specific XML file sent in UBL format via the Peppol network. Thanks to these UBL standards, all the necessary information is included on the invoice, allowing accounting or invoicing software like Accountable to read it.
