Belgium — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 99 energy assets in Belgium across 11 layers — the 61st-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 50 power plants, 13 interconnectors and 9 cement plants. Operating generation capacity is 13.4 GW, led by gas at 42%. Refining capacity is about 338 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are Electrabel NV/SA (16), ENGIE SA (7) and Luminus NV/SA (6), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Belgium's mapped assets in service predate 2005 (median commissioning year of the 50 with a known date), 13 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Obourg Cement Plant, dating from 1911. 17 projects are under construction or proposed, led by Belgium – Netherlands interconnection (planned) (2.0 GW).
