- Continuous reporting via our proprietary MyAct platform.
We also offer complementary services such as budget forecasting, solar power system sizing,support for charging stations, and the development of renewable energy communities.

Why did you decide to join the Widoo collaborative purchasing group?
Joining the Widoo collaborative purchasing group is a natural step for Act Energy. As a specialist in energy management for small and medium-sized businesses and professional organizations, we share Widoo’s conviction that mid-sized companies deserve access to the terms and expertise typically reserved for large corporations.
The Widoo network, comprising more than 400 independent companies that together employ over 20,000 people, is an ideal pool of businesses that specifically need professional, personalized support to manage their energy costs. Energy is a major—and often poorly optimized—expense for small and medium-sized businesses, and Widoo’s collaborative philosophy allows us to address this need on a larger scale.
Furthermore, our model —based onindependence, transparency, andno commissions —aligns perfectly with the group’s values, which prioritize trusting partnerships for the benefit of its members. Joining Widoo also gives us the opportunity to strengthen our local presence in Belgium and Luxembourg by reaching companies across all industries that might not otherwise have considered hiring an independent energy consultant. This is a concrete way to make strategic and effective energy management more accessible to everyone.
What benefits do you think you will find?
The benefits we find within the Widoo consortium are numerous and extend to both commercial and strategic areas. First, Widoo gives us access to a network of qualified companies that already understand the importance of pooling their purchases to secure better terms. These members, who are committed to optimizing their costs, are naturally receptive to our customized energy management services.
Second, Widoo’s platform and structure provide us with greater visibility and enhanced credibility among prospects we might not necessarily have reached through our usual channels. The framework agreement negotiated with Widoo makes it easier to establish contact and immediately builds trust with members.
Third, the network effect inherent in collaborative groups fosters exchanges and recommendations among members, creating a virtuous cycle of business growth.
Finally, our involvement with Widoo is part of our long-term vision: to support as many Belgian and Luxembourgish SMEs as possible in their energy transition. This consortium allows us to take our mission to the next level while maintaining our personalized and independent approach, with each company benefiting from a strategy tailored to its consumption profile and specific goals.
Joining Widoo also gives us the opportunity to strengthen our local presence in Belgium and Luxembourg by reaching companies across all industries that might not otherwise have considered hiring an independent energy consultant.
