Annual Report 2025
Discover where EnergyVille is making a difference today: from research and unique testing environments to collaboration with companies and policy support. This annual report shows how we are translating knowledge into concrete solutions for electrification, sustainable molecules, building renovation, stronger energy grids, and addressing grid congestion.
With one common goal: to accelerate the energy transition.
EnergyVille's mission
The energy transition is not a distant future, but the most urgent task of today. At EnergyVille, more than 700 researchers and experts employ knowledge, technology, and collaboration to accelerate that transition. From electrification and new molecules to building renovation, robust networks, and solutions for grid congestion.
In this annual report, Bram De Wispelaere, General Manager of EnergyVille, and Walter Eevers, Chairman of the Board of Directors, reflect on a year full of research, innovation, and collaboration. They demonstrate how EnergyVille translates knowledge into concrete solutions, contributing to an energy system that is cleaner, stronger, affordable, and resilient.
