The Dutch and Belgian power markets exhibit significant differences, yet also share striking similarities. In the Netherlands, the export of renewable energy is quickly surpassing traditional exports like flowers and vegetables, while Belgium has become increasingly reliant on power imports. Both markets experience extreme volatility in day-ahead, intraday, and balancing markets, presenting new challenges, risks, and opportunities for all market participants.

In this webinar, we will explore the causes and drivers of this volatility, highlighting the similarities and differences between the Netherlands and Belgium. Leading the discussion will be our short-term platform director, Jean-Paul Harreman, whose roots lie in the Dutch part of Flanders.
