Renewables & electricity
In Belgium, we operate several renewable electricity generating assets, including the Rentel offshore windfarm (as part of a PPA) in the North Sea and the Plate-Taille hydropower plant (usage concession with Sofico for storing the electricity generated by the dam).
We are developing two battery-based electricity storage projects in the country:
- in Antwerp, a project with a capacity of 75 MWh (40 containers), operational by the end of 2024;
- in Feluy, a project with a capacity of 75 MWh (40 containers), operational by the end of 2025.
With these two projects, our battery electricity storage capacity in Belgium will reach 50 MW/150MWh.
We are also developing solar power plants across the country.
