The gross electricity production from wind power in Belgium in 2023 stood at 1.28 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe). Analysis of the forecasted data suggests a steady increase in wind energy production. By 2024, this figure is expected to rise to 1.38 Mtoe, showing a year-on-year increase of approximately 7.8%. Subsequent years indicate further growth, with 2025 forecasted at 1.48 Mtoe (a 7.2% increase from 2024), 2026 at 1.58 Mtoe (6.8% from 2025), 2027 at 1.68 Mtoe (6.3% from 2026), and 2028 at 1.78 Mtoe (6.0% from 2027). The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period from 2023 to 2028 is estimated to be 6.8%.
Future trends to watch for include the integration of advanced wind technologies, government policies that incentivize renewable energy projects, and the potential impacts of global economic conditions on the energy sector. Additionally, monitoring advancements in energy storage solutions and grid infrastructure improvements will be crucial in understanding the long-term viability and growth of wind power in Belgium.
