6 FAQs about [Belgium decentralized power generation]

How much energy does Belgium use?

Total annual wind and photovoltaic generation in Belgium reached an all-time high (21.5 TWh or + 23%), accounting for 28.2% of the electricity mix (19,8% in 2022). More than half (66.5%) of the energy mix for 2023 comprised nuclear and gas-powered generation (74,2% in 2022). Electricity consumption decreased by 3.5% compared to 2022.

How many nuclear power plants are there in Belgium?

In comparison, the net installed generation capacity in Belgium is estimated to be 19,627 MW. According to the GEMIX report the potential of renewable energy sources is 17 TWh per year. Nuclear power typically contributes between 50% and 60% of the electricity produced domestically (50.4% in 2010). Belgium has two nuclear power plants:

Who produces electricity in Belgium?

Electrabel is main producer of electricity, followed by EDF Luminus. Short term trading is done via the Belpex energy exchange, which is now part of APX-ENDEX. The Belgian transmission grid, operated by Elia System Operator, has a central position in the Synchronous grid of Continental Europe.

Will Belgium's energy mix be reliant on imports in 2035-2050?

Belgium's existing generation facilities and already-approved investments can provide only half of what is needed in the long term. Therefore, new governments will soon have to consider the desired energy mix for the period 2035-2050 and how reliant the country is willing to be on imports.

Will Belgium's dependence on electricity increase in 10 years?

However, due to the rising demand for electricity, this will no longer be sufficient in 10 years' time. If policy remains unchanged, we will see Belgium's dependence on electricity imports steadily increase, from 50-60 TWh in 2036 to 70-90 TWh in 2050.

Will Belgium become more reliant on electricity imports?

If policy remains unchanged, we will see Belgium's dependence on electricity imports steadily increase, from 50-60 TWh in 2036 to 70-90 TWh in 2050. Without a long-term strategy on the future energy mix and new policy measures, Belgium will therefore become more reliant on electricity imports.
