Belgium solar panels initiative launched by Prime Minister’s Office to boost renewable energy
In a significant move toward sustainable energy, Belgium’s Prime Minister’s Office is set to install 242 solar panels by 2024. These state-of-the-art panels are expected to generate an impressive 100 MWh of electricity annually. Covering nearly 400 square meters on the roof of the Prime Minister’s residence at 16 Rue de la Loi, the project will turn a historic site into a beacon of green energy.
The initiative is part of a broader movement in Belgium to enhance its renewable energy infrastructure. This national shift toward Belgian solar is also reflected in upcoming regulatory changes: Synergrid, Belgium’s transmission and distribution system operator, plans to allow plug-in solar panels and batteries to connect to the grid starting in May 2025. The change is expected to accelerate the adoption of solar power across the nation.
Technological advancements and industry developments also underscore Belgium’s commitment to solar energy. For instance, ENGIE Belgium has reached a 100 MW milestone, using advanced bifacial solar panels that capture sunlight from both sides to boost energy production.
