For companies that want to generate their own green energy day and night

Here are some figures to give you an idea:

1. You can save on average of 10 to 30% on your energy bill.
2. You produce your own green energy for at least 20 years.
3. Possible return on investment after 6 years

Your savings potential depends on a number of factors:

1. the average wind speed on your site
2. the possibility of receiving subsidies for your investment
3. the price you currently pay for your electricity, including transportation costs and taxes.
4. the percentage of self-consumption of kWh produced

There are two main requirements to install a wind turbine on your site:

1. It must be possible to place your wind turbine far enough away from residential plots or the road (between 25 and 51 m depending on the type of wind turbine chosen).
2. It must be possible to pour a concrete base of at least 49 m².

These are only two first conditions, but our experts will check the feasibility of your project during a first visit without obligation.

There are different supports available to help you finance your project. ENGIE and its partners will inform you and guide you in applying for subsidies. You will find below a brief overview of the main subsidies available by region.

Wallonia :
SME's can count on an investment support of 20 %. For large companies, it is 10% (and 12% in Hainaut). As of 2021, you can benefit from green certificates (minimum 65 euro/certificate) for 20 years to support your investment. 

Brussels :
You can benefit from green certificates (1.81 green certificates per MWh) for 10 years to support your investment.

Flanders :
Companies can apply for VEA support that works as a competitive tender system offering up to €74 per MWh produced for a period of 10 years. There is also a VLIF support for the agricultural sector - up to 40% of your investment (2€ per watt of rated power).

Federal :
You can deduct 13.5% of your investment from your net taxable income. For SMEs, this tax deduction amounts to 25% until 2022.

Yes, solar and wind energy are a golden duo! Solar panels only produce energy during the day and especially in spring and summer, whereas a wind turbine provides energy day and night, and mainly in autumn, winter and spring.
