Who is Eoly Energy?

Eoly Energy is a leading Belgian producer of renewable energy. It was founded in 2013 and is a member of Virya Energy, a Belgian energy company that focuses on renewable energy.

In recent years, Eoly Energy has developed end-to-end capabilities in the entire energy value chain. This means that Eoly Energy now has the skills and expertise to develop, build, and operate renewable energy projects from start to finish.

Eoly Energy manages all onshore wind activities of the Virya Energy group in Belgium. This means that Eoly Energy is responsible for the development, construction, and operation of all onshore wind energy projects in Belgium for Virya Energy. Eoly Energy is also working on the rapid international growth of the group.

Next to its activities in Wind energy, Eoly is also kickstarting the development of a solar (photovoltaic) energy practice in the country.

Together with its French sister company Eurowatt, Eoly Energy has ambitious plans to develop onshore wind and solar projects that will make a constant contribution to the transition to CO2 neutrality. This means that Eoly Energy is committed to developing renewable energy projects that will help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.

As part of Eoly's diversification into solar PV energy, the scope of your activities could also include securing land for solar projects, either on a stand-alone basis, or as part of hybrid projects (wind and solar) that could be developed in-house.
