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.

What is the Belgian energy sector?

It is an autonomous organisation granted with legal personality, set up by the Electricity and Gas Laws. For more information on the Belgian energy sector, contact Commercial Specialist Stéphane Croigny at [email protected].

How is energy used in Belgium?

Total energy supply (TES) includes all the energy produced in or imported to a country, minus that which is exported or stored. It represents all the energy required to supply end users in the country.

How does Belgium import natural gas?

Without domestic natural gas production, Belgium imports natural gas via cross-border pipelines, subsea pipelines, and Belgium’s only LNG terminal located in Zeebrugge. Natural gas net imports are mainly from the Netherlands and Norway. L-gas produced in the Netherlands account for roughly one-fifth of Belgium’s gas supply.

How does Belgium maintain a high level of natural gas supply security?

Belgium maintains a high degree of natural gas supply security through a combination of several measures, including underground commercial gas storage and well-established safety standards of the supply infrastructure.

How can Giga storage help facilitate the nuclear phase-out in Belgium?

Our ambition is to help facilitate the nuclear phase-out by achieving 2025 GW of battery storage in Belgium before 2030. GIGA Storage specializes in large-scale energy storage, investing in projects for optimizing energy supply and ensuring grid stability.
