Belgium
National Energy and Climate Plan for Belgium
Executive
Plan
Passed in 2019
The plan aims to define measures adapted to different dimensions :
1) decarbonisation dimension : reduction of GHG emissions by 35% in 2030 compared to 2005 for non-ET sectors, a Belgian contribution of 17.4% of renewable energies compared to gross final energy consumption;
2) energy efficiency dimension : Belgium has set a contribution to the European target of 32.5% by 2030 (15% in primary energy and 12% in final energy);
3) energy security dimension : one of the most important challenges for Belgium, in the short and medium term. A radical shift in the electricity mix due to the planned gradual phase-out of nuclear power by 2025 is planned;
4) the internal energy market dimension : regarding energy transport infrastructure, efforts will be made in the coming years to strengthen the existing interconnections with France and the Netherlands;
5) research, Innovation and Competitiveness dimension : Belgium is committed to devoting at least 3% of its gross domestic product overall to R&D.
