Photo de stock - Fisher boat Simon Stevin pictured during a working visit to the offshore wind farms in the Belgian North Sea, in the port of Ostend, Friday 13 May 2022. Since the end of 2020, all 8 Belgian offshore wind farms (Norther, C-Power, Rentel, Northwind, Seamade (zones Seastar en Mermaid), Nobelwind, Belwind en Northwester II) have been operational, with a capacity of 2,262 MW. Belgium is in the world top with this. With the climate and energy crisis, exacerbated for several months by the war in Ukraine, Belgium wants to continue to focus on the production of green electricity in our North Sea. On March 18, 2022, the federal government decided to go for 8,000 MW of renewable energy in the Belgian sea areas. BELGA PHOTO JAMES ARTHUR GEKIERE.
