Will Belgium's energy policy change in ?
These announcements, made by Energy Minister Mathieu Bihet on February 4th, , could reshape Belgium’s electricity landscape and leave a lasting impact on both energy security and climate strategies. Elia recently published its Blueprint study, investigating the potential evolutions of the Belgian electricity production mix.
How much battery storage does Belgium have?
Belgium’s battery storage buildout remains modest relative to peer nations. As of , the country had under 200 MWh of operational large-scale battery capacity, compared to over 2 GWh in the UK and more than 1 GWh in Germany.
Should Belgium import electricity from countries with higher res potentials?
But it does not mean that Belgium should not import electricity from countries having higher RES potentials: energy security of supply could also be met by backing up those cheap electricity imports with flexibility means (i.e. Demand Side Management, grid-scale or domestic-batteries, thermal energy storage, etc).
Will Belgium decarbonize its energy system in ?
While nuclear-produced electricity dominates the headlines, it only represented 7% of the final energy demand in Belgium in . In the meantime, oil products (48%) and natural gas (25%) still dominated overall consumption, meaning that decarbonizing the rest of the energy system — transport, heating, industry—remains a massive undertaking.
