This project has been supported by the modification of the Electricity Act in 2014 to facilitate offshore wind-generated electricity production.

What is Belgium's energy policy?

Belgium's federal electricity policy aimed to enhance renewable energy, increase cross-border interconnection capacity, and phase out nuclear power by 2025. A key initiative includes promoting offshore wind energy through competitive auctioning processes.

Who produces electricity in Belgium?
