The Belgian power market is on the cusp of change, expecting an imminent exit from nuclear power leading to an increasingly important role for imports and renewable energy. The complex regulatory system and dependence on neighbouring countries make the local market challenging for all players. Manage and mitigate risks and understand upcoming market developments with our Belgian power market services.

What you need to know about the market

  • Belgium is a highly interconnected country, with about 37.7 TWh of total cross-border trading in 2022. Imports may provide almost 50% of domestic demand in 2050.
  • Historically, nuclear power has covered over half of the country’s demand. The government plans to significantly reduce its use, extending the lifetime of only two reactors out of seven.
  • Expected to be built by 2030, the main offshore wind zone, the Princess Elizabeth Zone, has been expanded from 1.75 GW to 3.5 GW. By this time, the new zone will bring the total offshore capacity to 5.8 GW.
