What is the energy storage project in Belgium?

The main energy storage project in Belgium is the construction and operation of an offshore “energy atoll” (essentially a manmade offshore pumped-storage facility), for which the Electricity Act has been modified in 2014 (see below), in order to support offshore wind-generated electricity production.

Can solar panels be installed on Belgian electricity grids?

Synergrid, the federation of Belgian electricity and gas transmission and distribution system operators, will soon allow solar panels and household battery energy storage systems with a plug and socket to be deployed on the country’s electricity distribution grids.

How much storage capacity does Belgium need in 2020?

The need for storage capacity in Belgium is expected to increase from 7 GW to 12 GW in 2020.

When will solar panels & batteries be available in Belgium?

Belgium’s transmission and distribution system operator says it plans to allow household solar panels and batteries with a plug and socket to connect to the grid from May 2025.

When will the home battery premium end in Belgium?

It will also end the home battery premium earlier than initially announced, from April 2023. The premium for heat pump boilers, on the other hand, will be retroactively doubled. The government of Belgium’s Flanders region will halve the solar PV premium for residential installations from Jan. 1, 2023.

Why are clear regulations required in Belgium?

This is why clear regulations were required. The environmental contribution means every company that produces or imports home batteries and places them on the Belgian market pays a contribution per kilogram. Transparency is an asset here because the environmental contribution amount must be stated clearly on invoices to professional customers.
