In recent years, BelgiumphotovoltaicThe industry has experienced rapid development and has become an important force in promoting the countrys energy transformation. According to data provided by the Belgian high - voltage power grid operator, in September 2023, the total power generation of all photovoltaic panels in Belgium reached 794 GWh, a 46% increase compared with the same period in September 2022. This not only demonstrates the rapid rise of the photovoltaic industry in Belgium, but also provides strong support for the country to get rid of its dependence on traditional fossil fuels.

The booming development of the photovoltaic industry

Against the backdrop of global warming and rising energy prices, photovoltaic power generation, with its characteristics of high efficiency, cleanliness, safety and low cost, has become a new favorite in the power market. As an active participant in the development of the photovoltaic industry, Belgiums growth rate of photovoltaic power generation is remarkable. Especially during the frequent extreme high - temperature weather in Europe this summer, renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic power generation and wind power jointly met 30% of Belgiums power consumption, demonstrating its important position in the energy structure.

Strong government support

The strong support of the Belgian government for the photovoltaic industry is an important factor in promoting its rapid development. The government has reduced the cost of residents installing photovoltaic panels by providing financial assistance to individuals, promoting this green and sustainable energy. This not only reflects the high importance the Belgian government attaches to environmental protection and renewable energy, but also provides a solid foundation for Belgiums energy transformation.

Trend within Europe

The development of the Belgian photovoltaic industry is also an epitome of the energy transformation within Europe. According to the report of the European Photovoltaic Industry Association, the power generation in Europe surged by nearly 50% in 2022. And the report of the Norwegian state - owned power company Stakraft predicts that by 2030, the installed capacity of solar photovoltaics in Europe will increase significantly, far exceeding the expectations before the Russia - Ukraine conflict. This shows that Europe has made important progress in gradually replacing traditional fossil fuels with photovoltaic power generation.solarThe development of photovoltaic power generation not only meets Belgiums domestic demand for renewable energy, but also highly conforms to the Net - Zero Roadmap proposed by the International Energy Agency. This roadmap believes that reducing the consumption of fossil fuels is the best way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and photovoltaic power generation is an important means to achieve this goal. According to data from the International Energy Agency, by 2030, photovoltaic technology and electric vehicles will jointly achieve one - third of the carbon dioxide emission reduction target.

Aligned with the IEAs Net Zero Roadmap

The development of photovoltaic power generation not only meets Belgiums domestic demand for renewable energy but also aligns closely with the Net Zero Roadmap proposed by the International Energy Agency. This roadmap considers reducing fossil fuel consumption as the best way to cut CO2 emissions, with PV power being an important means to achieve this goal. According to IEA data, by 2030, photovoltaic technology and electric vehicles will jointly achieve one-third of CO2 reduction targets.

The funding gap remains a difficult problem

The UK, independent of the EU, refuses to impose tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.
