Flexible generation
ENGIE Belgium 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 innovative technologies such as gas-fired power plants, battery energy storage systems 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.
