ENGIE achievements and projects of 2024
Renewable energy
Renewable energies are the key to meet the energy challenges of the future while respecting our planet.
This is why ENGIE is developing sustainable and innovative solutions to provide cleans and renewable energy.
As an innovative producer of green electricity in Belgium, ENGIE has high ambitions in the field of renewable energy. By 2030, we intend to increase our onshore wind power to 1,000 MW and also our offshore wind power to 1,000 MW.
We also help our customers; companies and local authorities, to make the transition to a zero-carbon future in a simple and cost-effective way through the installation of solar panels.
Finally, our hydroelectric plants provide clean, renewable energy to thousands of homes and businesses.
Flexible generation
ENGIE is actively involved in flexible generation projects to meet the needs of our customers, contribute to the continued security of energy supply, and help combat climate change.
Flexible production involves the use of technologies such as battery and pumped energy storage systems, gas-fired power plants and hydrogen production technologies.
These technologies can be used to meet fluctuations in energy demand, compensate for the intermittency of renewable energies, and ensure the stability of the electricity grid.
By 2030, ENGIE wants to guarantee 5,500 MW of flexible capacity in Belgium to account moments of low renewable production.
Client solutions
ENGIE offers customized customer solutions to meet the specific needs of each customers.
Our services include energy supply, energy management, trading, electric mobility solutions, solar panel installations, batteries etc.
At ENGIE, we are committed to help our customers achieving their sustainability goals while providing efficient and sustainable energy solutions.
Nuclear energy
Belgium has 7 nuclear power plants: 4 in Doel and 3 in Tihange. The 4 operational Belgian nuclear power plants together produce about a third of the country's total electricity consumption, without CO2 emissions.
ENGIE is responsible for the safe and professional operation of 2 nuclear power plants in Doel and 2 in Tihange, and the safe decommissioning of 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.
