As part of a plan to increase offshore wind capacity to 4 GW over the next decade, Belgium plans to double
its North Sea Wind Development Zone.
Belgium plans to double its North Sea wind development zone
According to Philippe De Backer, the minister of state for the North Seas, quoted by state broadcaster VRT, a new 221 square kilometre area after 2020 could be used to develop wind power, complementing the existing 225 square kilometres offshore Zeebrugge
.
The new area is located 35 km to 40 km in the center of the North Sea and will not affect the landscape
of the coastline.
The expansion will enable the country to install wind turbines of sufficient capacity to replace part of its nuclear capacity, supporting Belgium's strategy
to increase renewable energy and phase out nuclear power by 2025.
New offshore wind capacity will be offered through public tenders and will not be subsidized
by the government.
De Backer said it was inspired
by the Netherlands and Germany.
How to achieve the speed at which all this power is connected to the grid remains a major challenge
.
According to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), Belgium's cumulative offshore wind capacity reached 877 MW at the end of 2017, with 165 MW added last year
.
In October 2017, the government announced support mechanisms
for three new offshore projects totalling 716 MW.
The negotiated electricity price was 79 euros ($97)
per MWh.
The cost of offshore wind has fallen
rapidly in tenders conducted in other European countries.
Shortly after completing the first subsidy-free offshore wind tender, the Dutch government announced in March its "Offshore Wind Roadmap 2030", which outlines the country's plan
to reach 11.
5 GW of offshore wind by 2030.
