Belgium boasts significant renewable energy resources, which contribute to the country's commitment to sustainability. In 2024, approximately 30% of Belgium's electricity came from renewable sources, and the nation aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Supporting this goal, the European Investment Bank (EIB) signed a green credit facility agreement with Elia Transmission Belgium (ETB) in October 2024, allocating about USD 700 million to build an artificial energy island capable of connecting the country to 3.5 GW of offshore wind power. The Belgian Institute for Postal Services and Telecommunications (BIPT) forecasts that by 2025, around 50% of Belgian households will have access to FTTP (Fiber to the Premises/Property), which provides high-speed internet connections via optical fiber. This coverage is expected to rise to 75% by 2028, further enhancing the digital infrastructure that supports the growing data center market. However, the environmental impact of data centers remains a concern. To address sustainability issues, the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) has developed the EU Code of Conduct for data centers, promoting best practices in energy efficiency and environmental management.
