Summer Solar Power Surplus: EMS, Home Battery, and Charging Station
Summers in Flanders are increasingly bringing prolonged periods of sunshine, leading to a sharp rise in solar energy production among households and businesses with solar panels. However, this peak production does not always coincide with the times when energy consumption is at its highest. This results in a growing surplus of solar energy, presenting both a challenge and an opportunity for the further development of a flexible and future-oriented energy system.
Flemish Parliament to Give Batteries Priority on the Grid
The Flemish power grid is at capacity, and companies are waiting longer and longer for additional capacity. A new decree makes energy storage a strategic asset: companies that relieve pressure on the grid using a battery may soon be given priority for new connections or grid upgrades. Find out what this means for the future of industrial energy supply.
Smart Home Cooling with Energy Efficiency
Smart cooling is becoming increasingly important in Belgian homes. Due to hotter summers, fluctuating energy prices, and a growing focus on energy efficiency, cooling today is not just about comfort, but also about smart energy management.
Thematic Investment Tax Credit for Solar Panels and Battery Systems
Businesses that choose to install solar panels or a home battery will save money on their energy bill every month. But the benefits don’t stop there: did you know that, on top of that, you can deduct 40% of the investment amount directly from your taxable profit? This is called the enhanced thematic investment deduction, and it is currently one of the most underutilized tax benefits for Flemish businesses.
Cooling Your Home During a Heat Wave in Belgium
The current heat wave in Belgium highlights just how important a cool indoor environment is. Discover how you can keep your home comfortable and energy-efficient—now and in the future—using passive measures and active cooling via heat pumps.
Network Congestion in Flanders: Impact on Businesses
Demand for electricity is growing faster than the grid can keep up, causing grid congestion to have an increasingly significant impact on businesses. Our expert shares his perspective on this trend and what it means for companies. Learn how smart energy management, storage, and local energy production can help businesses tackle future challenges and secure growth opportunities.
Negative electricity prices are becoming increasingly common
Last weekend, something happened that would have seemed unthinkable just a few years ago. The price of electricity on the Belgian wholesale market dropped exceptionally far below zero, to -479.27 euros per megawatt-hour. This is striking, but no coincidence: with summer approaching and solar production on the rise, these kinds of negative prices and sharp fluctuations will occur more and more frequently in the coming months.
What are the renewable energy subsidies for 2026?
Are you planning to make your home more sustainable with solar panels, a home battery, ventilation, or a heat pump? If so, it’s crucial to know which VAT rate applies. In 2026, this rate will largely depend on the general renovation rule, but there is one important exception. In addition, there are grants of up to €8,000 available for those who want to install a heat pump.
Snow on solar panels: Clean up or wait patiently?
With a blanket of winter snow covering the solar panels, their output seems to be at risk. Should you take action now and clean them, or is patience the better course of action?
EnergyKing Continues to Grow in East Flanders with the Acquisition of Eco-Project
EnergyKing is acquiring Eco-Project from Aalst as part of its accelerated growth strategy. Eco-Project, which primarily focuses on solar panels, home batteries, and charging solutions, will remain locally based in East Flanders with the same team and the same managers.
