Why did Belgium not invest in offshore wind in 2022?

Belgium was far from alone with its lack of offshore wind growth, with no investment decisions taken on any offshore wind farm in Europe in 2022. In April, a host of wind companies operating in Europe blamed this sluggish situation on a 40 percent rise in input costs in just two years, mainly due to supply chain constraints and high inflation.

Are solar projects a problem in Wallonia & Flanders?

The problem, suggests Coppieters, is a lack of legislation across Wallonia and Flanders around community energy projects. He says solar projects linked to farming are happening in the Netherlands, “which has a higher density of people” and in France “which has legislation”.

Is Belgium ready for a green transition?

In its 2023 country report published in May, the European Commission was blunt about Belgium’s prospects for the green transition. “Belgium faces significant challenges in moving to a green and climate-resilient economy,” it said, citing the country’s “strong reliance on imported fossil fuels” as a particular block to climate neutrality by 2050.

What can Flanders do about wind energy?

Flanders, however, is sticking with the EU executive’s previous overall 40 percent reduction – while the Brussels region and Wallonia have duly adjusted their plans in line with the latest targets. On the onshore wind front at least, Flanders can do more, says Maarten Dedeyne, director of the Flemish Wind Energy Association (VWEA).
