Although the route in Oostkamp is largely underground, the discussion about the above -ground connection remains a sensitive point. “In my opinion, Flanders is holding on to old -fashioned technology, while in other countries underground high -voltage connections on direct current are already reality,” says De Keyser.
“If we want Flanders to really play a pioneering role in the energy transition, we must dare to opt for the most innovative solution.” The mayor confirms that he will share these concerns during the advice period.
