Energy policy has always required a long-term perspective, as future generations depend on policymakers to ensure secure, reliable, and sustainable energy decisions. In 2025, this need is more urgent than ever, with the arrival of Generation Beta and a political landscape reshaped by the Belgian elections.

As a new generation steps in, the old one steps out, leaving behind a government reshuffle that is set to influence energy policy significantly.

Thus, 2025 not only marks the rise of a new generation but also the formation of new government coalitions, bringing fresh priorities for energy and climate policy. With the swearing-in of the new federal government, we provide an overview of key policy positions at both the federal and regional levels (excluding the Brussels Capital Region, which is not yet formed).

This update offers an objective perspective on Belgium’s evolving energy policy, based on the respective government agreements.

With a fully dedicated energy law team working across all regions of Belgium, we will closely track and follow up on the numerous exciting measures and legislative developments to come.

One thing is certain: the energy sector will remain dynamic and full of opportunities, and we’re excited to collaborate with industry stakeholders on the many thrilling projects ahead.
