Energy Storage in Belgium
To help reaching the balance, parties can buy or sell energy to cover expected changes (like solar or wind expectations). The real time deviations can still be anticipated on the intraday
With the publication of the Belgian Federal, Flemish, and Walloon government agreements, Belgium's energy policy has taken shape, emphasising pragmatism, energy security, industrial competitiveness, and a clear return to nuclear power.
Belgium is one of the most active and mature grid-scale energy storage markets in Europe, with diversified opportunities for monetising battery storage via flexibility markets and a supportive regulatory regime.
Contrary to previous policies, nuclear energy will play a crucial role in Belgium's future energy policy. The government has announced a program to revive Belgium's nuclear industry and repeal all provisions related to the nuclear phase-out and the ban on new capacity construction.
The government also aims to foster international collaboration on nuclear projects and participate in European initiatives for Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). Offshore wind energy: Offshore wind energy is highlighted as a key component of Belgium's energy strategy.
