The Belgian power system held up well over the summer amid gloomy weather and market participants adjusting their positions in advance, Belgian TSO Elia said. 

  • Elia issued 23 warnings this summer, with market parties able to adjust their positions on the day-ahead market in advance in every case.
  • A few times there was assistance of non-Belgian grid operators.
  • Less sunny weather saw less solar PV output than in previous years, with load factors of 60-70% only 1.5% of the time this summer, compared with 15% in previous years.
  • However, the number of negative hours more than tripled in April-August this year, compared with 2023 levels (see chart).
