3 FAQs about [Belgium green power systems]
Will Belgium become more reliant on electricity imports?
If policy remains unchanged, we will see Belgium's dependence on electricity imports steadily increase, from 50-60 TWh in 2036 to 70-90 TWh in 2050. Without a long-term strategy on the future energy mix and new policy measures, Belgium will therefore become more reliant on electricity imports.
Will Belgium's energy mix be reliant on imports in 2035-2050?
Belgium's existing generation facilities and already-approved investments can provide only half of what is needed in the long term. Therefore, new governments will soon have to consider the desired energy mix for the period 2035-2050 and how reliant the country is willing to be on imports.
Will Green Turtle help reduce Belgium's reliance on gas-fired power plants?
Sweco added that Green Turtle will also help reduce the country’s reliance on gas-fired power plants which, according to Power Technology ’s parent company, GlobalData, make up the second largest share of power generation in Belgium at 24.19%, behind nuclear’s 40.7%.
