ENGIE achievements and projects of 2025
Renewable electricity and renewable molecules
Renewable electricity and renewable molecules play an important role in addressing the energy challenges of tomorrow.
ENGIE is therefore developing renewable electricity generation capacity in Belgium, particularly in wind power. These projects complement our generation portfolio and contribute to the development of the Belgian electricity system.
Hydropower and the production of biomethane are also part of our generation portfolio. Alongside wind power, they contribute to diversifying ENGIE’s electricity generation assets in Belgium.
Flexible generation and storage
ENGIE invests in flexible generation and storage projects to meet the needs of its customers and contribute to security of supply and the balance of the Belgian electricity system.
Flexibility relies on various technologies, including battery storage, pumped-storage hydropower, gas-fired power plants and certain hydrogen production technologies.
These technologies can respond to variations in electricity generation and demand and contribute to the integration of increasing renewable electricity generation into the electricity system.
Client solutions
ENGIE supports its customers by offering energy solutions tailored to their needs, whether they are individuals, businesses or industrial customers.
These solutions can help customers better manage and optimise their energy consumption, develop greater flexibility in how they use energy and better manage their energy costs.
Through its tools, solutions and expertise in the energy sector, ENGIE supports customers in implementing their energy projects and adapting their energy use.
Nuclear energy
Belgium has 7 nuclear power plants: 4 in Doel and 3 in Tihange.
ENGIE is responsible for the safe and professional operation of the two most recent reactors, Doel 4 and Tihange 3. These will remain in service until 2035, in accordance with the Phoenix agreement concluded with the Belgian authorities. ENGIE is also responsible for the decommissioning of Doel 1, Doel 3 and Tihange 2.
Nuclear energy is still essential for Belgium at this stage, for guaranteeing the electricity supply 7 days a week and 24 hours a day, for achieving the climate objectives, for the competitiveness of electricity prices and for local employment.
Engineering & Infrastructures
Tractebel is an international engineering and consulting company providing integrated solutions for projects in the energy and construction sectors.
Its expertise covers a wide range of fields, including nuclear energy, renewable electricity generation, electricity and gas, power grids, hydropower and dams, water resources and supply, desalination, complex and high-tech buildings, transport infrastructure, ports and waterways.
By combining strategy, design, engineering, social and environmental studies, project management and digital applications, Tractebel supports companies and public authorities in the development and implementation of their projects.
Research & Innovation
Laborelec, part of ENGIE Research & Innovation, provides services to a wide range of players in the electricity sector.
Electricity producers and grid operators are among our long-standing customers, but our offering goes beyond these sectors: we also serve the wider industry, local communities and the public sector.
A large part of our support focuses on the day-to-day operation of our customers’ facilities. Our objectives are to protect the value of their investments and improve the performance of their assets. Beyond operations, we also provide upstream support to engineering companies, investors and other stakeholders.
Another of our missions is to foster innovation. We strongly believe in the interaction between operational support and the upstream R&D that underpins it, and that our contract research services provide targeted support to customers when they need it.
