Belgium Daily Load Shape and Duck Curve by Hour, 16 to 30 October 2026

In the 15 complete local days from 16 to 30 October 2026, electricity demand in Belgium averaged 9,542 MW and typically peaked at 11:00 local time (11,158 MW) and bottomed out at 04:00 (7,690 MW). With solar and wind taken off, the remaining load fell to 5,167 MW at 02:00 and then rose 1,777 MW between 14:00 to 17:00. Hours are local clock time (Europe/Brussels).

Key Facts

  • Over 15 complete local days from 16 to 30 October 2026, average demand in Belgium was 9,542 MW. The hour of the day with the highest average demand was 11:00 local time (11,158 MW) and the lowest was 04:00 (7,690 MW).
  • The largest three hour rise in average demand was 284 MW, between 16:00 to 19:00 local time.
  • The single highest hour of demand in the 30 day window was 12,713 MW, in the hour starting 5 Nov 2026, 11:00 CET (UTC+01:00).
  • Solar output averaged 3,230 MW at its 12:00 peak, 34% of average demand.
  • Demand minus solar and wind (net load) averaged 6,384 MW, fell to 5,167 MW at 02:00 and rose 1,777 MW over the three hours from 14:00 to 17:00, 19% of average demand.

Average Day by Local Hour

15 days to 2026-10-30, Europe/Brussels time
Belgium average demand and net generation by local hour Average electricity demand in Belgium by local clock hour over 15 complete local days from 16 to 30 October 2026. It was lowest at 04:00 (7,690 MW) and highest at 11:00 (11,158 MW). Net generation is the power produced inside the grid, so it differs from demand by net imports. 0 3,000 6,000 9,000 12,000 00:0003:0006:0009:0012:0015:0018:0021:00

Each value is the mean over 15 complete local days from 16 to 30 October 2026, weekdays and weekends together, for the hour starting at that local clock time. Net load is demand minus solar and wind generation. The single highest hour of demand in the whole 30 day window was 12,713 MW; it is a published reading, not an average, and is not part of the profile above.

Assumptions

  • Hours are local clock time in Europe/Brussels. A local day is used only if it is whole inside the 30 day window and at least 22 of its hours are complete; the profile uses the 15 most recent such days. Daylight saving follows the local clock: on a clock change day the missing hour is absent and the repeated hour is averaged over both readings.
  • The average mixes weekdays and weekends and covers only 15 days, so it describes recent conditions, not a seasonal norm.
  • The evening ramp is the largest rise over three hours in the average profile, starting between 14:00 and 20:00 local time.
