Key actor in the energy transition in Belgium, Eoly Energy's teams develop and manage onshore wind parks in Belgium.

Together with its sister company Eurowatt in France, Eoly manages all onshore wind activities of their main shareholder Virya Energy Group.

Strong with about 25 years of experience, Eoly Energy operates more than 50MW of onshore capacity across Belgium.

Eoly Energy also manages the Eoly Cooperative, allowing residents to participate in the decision-making process and to have ownership in the project.

Since joining forces with Eurowatt in 2023, Eoly is supporting the company's rapid international growth.

Eurowatt has about 30 years of experience in the renewable energy generation sector in Europe, with 350MW worth of projects and operations in Poland, Portugal, Spain, and France.
