Solar power in Belgium had been growing at an outstanding pace from 2009 until 2012, but its growth has since slowed significantly. In 2012 the installed capacity expanded to over 2.6 gigawatt-peak (GWp), nearly all of it grid connected. Photovoltaics produced an estimated 2,115 GWh of electricity in 2012 in Belgium.〔 In the afternoon of March 20, 2014, a new record of peak electricity generation had been achieved. According to the power supplier Eneco Energie, more than two gigawatt of electric power, corresponding to two full-sized nuclear power plants, were generated by solar PV and supplied more than 20 percent of the overall electricity consumption at the time. == Overview == The bulk of photovoltaic capacity is installed in the Flemish Region (88%), the remaining 12% is found mostly in Wallonia. The smaller Brussels-Capital Region had an installed capacity of 7 MWp at the end of 2011.〔 Installed capacity of solar power has increased drastically since 2007.〔(Market growth of solar power in Flanders )〕 During 2009 the amount of solar installations quadrupled from 16,000 to 65,000. Residential and small installations had a combined power of about 220 MWp.〔(Feiten en tendenzen 2009 )〕 In December 2009, there were 35,500 solar power installations in the Flemish region, 17,000 in Wallonia and 7,000 in the Brussels Capital Region.〔(Le nombre de panneaux solaires explose )〕 The number of installations in the Flemish region in particular was expanding rapidly at that time due to a favourable support measure expiring at the end of the year.〔(50.000 Vlaamse gezinnen hebben zonnepanelen eind 2009 )〕 In 2013, Belgium's ''watt per capita'' distribution, the total installed photovoltaic capacity per inhabitant, amounts to 267 watts. This is the third highest per-capita figure in the European Union—and therefore also in the world—just behind Germany (447 watts) and Italy (295 watts). In terms of the overall installed capacity of 2,983 MW, Belgium ranked tenth and belongs to the Top 10 leading photovoltaic countries in the world.〔provisional IEA-PVPS data later revised, see article growth of photovoltaics for additional sources.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Solar power in Belgium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
