Solar energy
As a major producer of renewable energy in Belgium, ENGIE aims to take the lead in the transition to a zero-carbon future. The business is helping its private customers, businesses and local governments make the transition to a zero-carbon future easily and in a cost-effective manner. The broad range of services focusing on the installation of solar panels for private individuals and businesses is a clear expression of this ambition.
The energy sector is going through a far-reaching transformation. Solar energy is one of the technologies for realising this transformation; not just because it is one of the cheapest ways to produce energy but also due to the huge potential it offers for generating electricity. That's why ENGIE supports its B2B customers in the installation of solar panels through partners.
According to Elia, Belgian photovoltaic capacity could reach 18 GW by 2040. This would mean that 17% of Belgian's electricity consumption would be covered and our country’s annual CO2-emissions would be reduced by almost 7 million tons, which equates to the emissions from 3.5 million diesel lorries.
