Energy

The electricity ri dis a key pillar of energy policy that drives both economic growth and our society’s decarbonisation by integrating ever-increasing volumes of renewable energy. During the last couple of decades, climate concerns have prompted the adoption of European policies on sustainable energy production (e.g. 20-20-20 targets at European and national levels1 ). As a consequence, renewable generation – both at transmission and distribution level – has rapidly become an increasingly important part of Belgium’s and Europe’s energy mix. In line with the European commitment to further decarbonise our society by 2050 – as agreed during the COP21 climate conference in Paris – renewable generation and other decarbonising technologies will become ever more present.
