Belgium perfect power systems

Construction of one of the largest Battery Energy Storage Systems

Equans is contributing to Belgium''s energy transition by building one of the country''s largest battery farms, with a capacity of 2 x 100 MW and 800 MWh of storage. Find out how Equans, in partnership with ENGIE, is playing a key role in transforming the former Vilvoorde gas power plant into a pillar of renewable energy.

Our infrastructure

Our transmission system plays a leading role in bringing about the energy transition: Elia is developing and building its 30 kV to 380 kV electricity transmission system, both on land and offshore, to keep people and businesses supplied with sustainable, reliable and

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.

Electric Power and Energy Systems | Flexibility & Control

Frequency and voltage control and stability are important topics of the power and energy systems research at the Electrical Energy Laboratory (EELAB). Flexibility is a focal area in the current research.

ENGIE to Build One of Europe''s Largest Battery Parks in Belgium

ENGIE has commenced construction on one of Europe''s largest Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) at its Vilvoorde site in Belgium. This significant project, launched on July 5, follows the acquisition of a construction permit in July 2023 and selection for capacity remuneration in October 2023.

Fuel for the future

Nevertheless, Belgium does export (and transmit) power. Its major clients are France and the UK which both have nuclear energy in their capacity mix. Belgium primarily imports from the Netherlands, fol-lowed by Germany. Curtailment is low in both scenarios and generation adequacy can be assured, even during rather harsh
