WALLOON SOLAR SURFACES

[BIZ: Liège, June 30]
Immoquest has listed the area covered by photovoltaic panels, used in logistical and industrial locations in Belgium. The figure amounts to 23.1 million m² for logistical locations to which 1.5 million m² must be added for project sites.

Belgium has a potential solar generating capacity of 410 GW per annum if all potential surfaces in the country were utilized with an investment volume of EUR 3 bn. This would allow carbon offsets of 200,000 tonnes per annum.
