Wind power gross available energy in Belgium demonstrated significant growth from 2013 to 2023, rising from 3.67 thousand GWh to 14.89 thousand GWh. While the early years exhibited sharp increases (e.g., 2013's 32.82% year-on-year growth), years like 2016 and 2021 saw declines or slower growth. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years stood at 14.48%, showing consistent expansion despite some volatility.
From 2024 onwards, forecasted data indicate continued growth, with an anticipated CAGR of 5.18% through 2028, resulting in a projected 20.69 thousand GWh by 2028. This forecast suggests a more moderate but still upward trajectory compared to the previous decade.
Future trends to watch for:
- Technological advancements in wind turbine efficiency and energy storage.
- Policy changes regarding renewable energy incentives.
- Impact of climate change on wind patterns and energy production.
- Investments in offshore versus onshore wind farms.
