Faced with an increasing energy supply shortage, measures can be taken by the relevant authorities to slow down demand growth, to increase investment in domestic generation capacity, and to increase the import potential by authorizing grid investments. At the moment, the Belgian regulator has chosen for rational use of energy and grid investments. Measures to increase generation investments will be considered in the future. In this paper it is evaluated whether the planned grid investments will increase the Belgian import potential sufficiently under different supply shortage evolution scenarios. Consequently the adverse effect of grid investments on domestic generation investments is discussed.
