North Sea Summit 2023 - Offshore wind energy = Freedom energy

“Today, Belgium ranks third (after Denmark and the UK) in terms of installed offshore wind capacity per inhabitant. The Belgian offshore wind industry is an early mover. The first wind farm started producing electricity in 2009. Today, between 8 and 10 % of the total Belgian electricity demand is produced in the Belgian part of the North Sea. After some years of standstill, the Belgian offshore wind industry welcomes the decision of the federal government on the blueprint for the next generation offshore wind farms in Belgium. It will contribute to more climate proof energy security for citizens and businesses.” says Annemie Vermeylen, secretary-general of BOP.
