Belgium electricity output hits 20-year low; nuclear outages drive record imports

Belgian electricity production fell to 4,021 GWh last month, the lowest since records began in 2008, due to maintenance at Doel 4 and Tihange 3 reactors, which restarted only recently. Wind and solar output were moderate as autumn approached, pushing imports to record levels since April. The episode underscores Belgium's reliance on nuclear and imports during maintenance windows, with potential price and supply implications for the region.
