This page shows forecast data of solar and wind energy in Belgium/Flanders, using data published by VEKA (Vlaams Energie- en Klimaatagentschap) at www.energiesparen.be/stroomvoorspeller. The table below provides a yearly overview of installed peak capacity. The actual yearly energy produced depends on the (yearly) capacity factor, and a rough estimate is eleven percent for solar photovoltaic (PV) power, twenty-one percent for onshore wind and thirty-eight percent for offshore wind. This can vary during different seasons, as shown in the monthly overview below.

Power [MW-peak]	2015	2016	2017	2018	2019
Solar PV - Flanders [1]	2240	2370	2560	2800	3220
Onshore Wind - Flanders [1]	794	911	1130	1230	1290
Offshore Wind - Belgium [2]	712	712	877	877	1560

Monthly reported energy values are sometimes revised on www.energiesparen.be/stroomvoorspeller. It can happen that a monthly value is different than the sum of daily values for a particular month. A new version of the stroomvoorspeller applet went online in January 2020, providing weekly and monthly overviews, available at apps.energiesparen.be/stroomvoorspeller-grafieken.

User guide: hover over the plot to view monthly or daily energy production data, expressed in GigaWatt-hour (GWh). You can disable or enable energy sources by clicking on the legend of a figure. A png image can be downloaded with the pop-up window at the right upper side. These functions require that javascript is enabled. Figures refer to VEA as data source, which was merged into VEKA end 2020, see acknowledgement for more info.
