Electricity mix 2023: Belgian renewable generation reaches all-time high while consumption and prices fall compared to 2022
Trends in 2023
- Total annual wind and photovoltaic generation in Belgium reached an all-time high (21.5 TWh or + 23%), accounting for 28.2% of the electricity mix (19,8% in 2022).
- More than half (66.5%) of the energy mix for 2023 comprised nuclear and gas-powered generation (74,2% in 2022).
- Electricity consumption decreased by 3.5% compared to 2022. This can be explained in part by the high prices of electricity which, despite a decrease (2.5 times lower compared to 2022), still remain historically high in 2023.
