Self-bill 
Frequently asked questions

What does the Self-bill document look like? What information can I find there?

arrow-right

Every month or every year, depending on the billing period chosen, you will receive a document from us consisting of three parts:
 

  • the cover letter: a summary invoice of the grid costs and the compensation you will receive for the electricity injected. It also shows the difference between the two invoices and thus the amount you will receive or have to pay.
     
  • the grid cost bill: the bill for the reimbursement of grid costs for the energy you injected into the grid.
     
  • the self-bill : the bill we prepare on your behalf for the settlement of the injected power.

Why do I no longer have to prepare and send invoices myself?

You will receive an invoice from us, prepared in your name, which you can record in your accounting records as an outgoing invoice (and not as a credit note).

The easiest way to do that is to create a separate sub-diary for all of our self-bill invoices.
 

It is therefore important that you no longer prepare and send invoices yourself.


How do I get paid for the energy I inject into the grid?

To pay for the energy you inject on the grid, we work with an offset between the grid cost bill and your self-bill bill.
 

- What if the amount ENGIE has to pay me for the injected energy is higher than the grid cost?

If the amount we have to pay you for your injected energy is higher than the amount of the grid costs, we will transfer the difference between the two amounts to your account within twenty days of the invoice date. In other words, you do not have to pay your grid charges.
 

- What if the amount I have to pay for the grid charges is higher than the reimbursement from ENGIE for the injected energy?

If the amount you have to pay for the grid costs is higher than the amount we owe you for the injected electricity, we will ask you to pay only the difference between the two invoices within the payment period. You can clearly find that difference in the cover letter.
