With the publication of the Belgian Federal, Flemish, and Walloon government agreements, Belgium’s energy policy has taken shape, emphasising pragmatism, energy security, industrial competitiveness, and a clear return to nuclear power.
Price monitoring will be intensified, and the CREG will expand its analysis of energy prices in export markets to ensure competitiveness. The government also announced continued efforts to make energy invoices more transparent. Hydrogen: Belgium aims to position itself as a hub for hydrogen and its derivatives.
The need for storage capacity in Belgium is expected to increase from 7 GW to 12 GW in 2020.
In September, Giga Storage, a BESS developer based in the Netherlands, announced that it is planning a 300MW/1,200MWh project in Belgium which would be connected directly to the transmission network via existing 380kV high-voltage transmission lines nearby.
