Wallonia is struggling to meet its wind energy target of 6,200 GWh by 2030, having achieved only one-third of this goal in 20 years, with just 28 new turbines added in 2024. Regulatory hurdles, environmental concerns, and network congestion are hindering progress, while strict distance regulations from homes further limit new installations. Proposed solutions include local flexibility platforms and battery storage integration, but the increasingly complex permitting process continues to pose challenges for both new and repowering projects.
