This is an English-language site.  Could you explain what the graph is supposed to be showing?

[A Belgian website](http://www.vreg.be/nl/hoeveel-kost-1-kwh-elektriciteit-en-aardgas) says the price of electricity in Belgium is between 0.22 and 0.44 Euros/kWh.

I have an Antminer S9 which uses 1600W.

I have a CPU/11 GPU rig which uses 1200W.

Is it uneconomic to do mining in Belgium? (As in that there won't be any profit because all mining gains will be taken away by electricity costs?)

How to fix it, so that I have at least some profit?
