Belgium 2024 Energy Consumption Hits 15-Year Low; Renewables Share Dips

Belgium's total energy consumption in 2024 fell to its lowest level in 15 years, while the share of renewable (natural) energy sources declined to 1.8% of the total. Wind's share of renewable electricity dropped from 39% to 35%, with offshore wind contributing under 30% of wind output, below historical levels. The data signals a slowdown in the country's energy transition, though the overall consumption decline may reflect efficiency gains or economic factors.
