Government is examining whether a third offshore wind farm is possible

In addition to the second Elisabeth zone, on the west coast, the federal government wants to investigate whether more is possible. “We know that the possibilities on the Belgian part are limited. It is a coast that has a lot of economic activity,” said Prime Minister Alexander De Croo.

When the current two zones are ready, they should power 18 percent of households. In the meantime, Belgium is struggling with France, which is planning a mega zone much closer to the West Coast.

In the meantime, protests continue on the west coast against the sea farm of the Colruyt group. “We simply submitted an application to obtain a concession, and we received it. Now there is a question for the Minister to move the zone a bit. To be honest, we can’t do anything or not much about that,” responds Jef Colruyt .
