In 2024, Belgium's renewable energy production decreased for the first time since 2016. Total electricity production hit a six-year low due to reduced nuclear output and minimal gas-fired power station operation. Domestic production covered 88% of the 81 terawatt-hours consumed, down from 98% in 2023. Nuclear energy, still the largest source, accounted for 42% of production. Wind energy fell by 11% due to weather conditions, while solar energy hit a record high at 12%. Imports from France and the Netherlands were more cost-effective.
