What is the potential for renewables in Belgium?
The technical potential for renewables in Belgium is almost fully utilised: 8 GW of offshore wind, 20 GW of onshore wind and 100 GW of rooftop PV. Investments in 8 GW of e-fuel/hydrogen peak plants – in the shape of STEG plants – take place to mitigate periods of low wind and sun.
How much power will Belgium's new solar park have?
The completed park will have a power capacity of 700 MW and a storage capacity of 2,800 MWh, enough to power 385,000 households for a year, according to Sweco. The facility will provide stored renewable energy during periods of low solar and wind energy production, reducing Belgium’s reliance on gas power plants.
How will Sweco contribute to Belgium's energy grid?
The park will make a significant contribution to the energy grid by providing stored renewable energy during periods of low solar and wind energy production — thereby reducing Belgium’s reliance on gas power plants. Sweco will deliver the design of the civil engineering and electrical engineering works of the battery energy storage system (BESS).
How much wind power does Belgium have?
Belgium has an additional technical capacity of 18.3 GW for onshore wind. Together with the existing capacity, it leads to overall values of Flanders 9.1 GW, Brussels 0.02 GW and Wallonia 11.4 GW (Table 1). Compared to installations anno 1/2018, wind generation capacity can increase 8-fold from 2.3 GW.
Will Sweco design a Battery Park for giga storage Belgium?
Sweco will design one of continental Europe’s largest battery parks, Green Turtle, for the energy storage company GIGA Storage Belgium. This facility will have a storage capacity of 2,800 MWh of electricity.
Why is Eneco the greenest energy provider in Belgium?
With 128 onshore wind turbines, Belgium's 2 largest offshore wind farms and nearly 400,000 solar panels, it is the largest green and the greenest major energy player in the country. By fully deploying battery energy storage, Eneco is contributing to a future-proof, reliable and affordable energy system in Belgium.
