Who will choose?
Should Europe make these choices? Yes, this is the most appropriate solution. Especially if you have to weigh the costs and benefits. It’s about making the best choices together, without everyone thinking about themselves. Decisions should be based on facts and the guiding value of solidarity. Only, how do you explain this to EU citizens? At some point, though, we just have to tell it like it is.
Working on every piece of the puzzle
Look, the solution to energy transition is a puzzle with many pieces, and each piece brings part of the solution. Awareness has also grown in recent years – everyone is literally feeling climate change firsthand. Politically, all this is not always obvious, because everything has its price. But again, doing nothing is the most expensive option. We will continue to have to choose what to put first, our future depends on it.
Virya Energy keeps on contributing to the energy transition, by producing more renewable energy via onshore wind energy, which we were able to expand significantly outside our traditional home bases – Belgium and France – into several new countries like Poland, and via solar energy for SMEs and in the field via agro-voltaics. Both paths continue to offer enormous potential. At the same time, we are also focusing on the intermediate links, such as the hydrogen economy, making sure that renewable energy reaches the end customer and ensuring that they can use fit for purpose energy at an affordable price.
