Energy production

ENGIE has local, diversified and flexible production facilities in Belgium with one of the lowest CO2-emission levels in Europe. ENGIE is also the largest green energy producer in Belgium, with an installed capacity of 836 MW. The electricity is produced in Belgium, close to the end-user, at around 85 locations and with approximately 200 large and small production units. This diversification enables optimal utilisation of the complementarity between technologies, using them to their best advantage, and inhibiting their disadvantages, with a view to ensuring a constant, uninterrupted electricity supply for our customers, irrespective of the conditions.

The balanced energy mix is a key element in our strategy. It is the obvious answer to the various challenges with respect to the environment, economy and energy:

•    Supplying and delivering energy at competitive prices
•    Providing a stable electricity supply, irrespective of weather conditions
•    Limiting CO2-emissions
•    Compensating for the fluctuating availability of some green technologies (wind turbines only run when it’s windy; solar panels only provide energy when the sun shines). 

ENGIE aims to strengthen its position as the largest green energy producer and continue to invest in renewable energy. ENGIE wishes to further expand its wind capacity and realise 1,000 MW by 2030. When it comes to solar power, ENGIE aims to have installed 75 MW by the end of 2021.

Wind power

ENGIE, as the largest green energy producer, has substantial ambitions with respect to wind energy. By 2030, ENGIE aims to have expanded to 1,000 MW of wind energy on land. In 2015, the business announced its ambition to realise 550 MW of wind capacity by the end of 2020. Today, the company already has wind capacity of 372 MW, 100 MW is under construction, and ENGIE has received a permit for another 80 MW. This wind capacity will equate to an annual production of 1 billion kilowatt hours per year by the end of 2020, or enough power to support 330,000 families. CO2 emissions will also have been reduced by 484,000 tons.
