With the publication of the Belgian Federal, Flemish, and Walloon government agreements, Belgium's energy policy has taken shape, emphasising pragmatism, energy security, industrial competitiveness, and a clear return to nuclear power.
Contrary to previous policies, nuclear energy will play a crucial role in Belgium's future energy policy. The government has announced a program to revive Belgium's nuclear industry and repeal all provisions related to the nuclear phase-out and the ban on new capacity construction.
The government also aims to foster international collaboration on nuclear projects and participate in European initiatives for Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). Offshore wind energy: Offshore wind energy is highlighted as a key component of Belgium's energy strategy.
The European Commission in 2020 published a study on energy storage, which summarized some previous studies and reports, explored current and potential energy storage markets in Europe, and set out policy and regulatory recommendations for energy storage.
