Bolt is not just an energy supplier, we are an energy platform that connects energy producers and consumers. We make energy personal, transparent and fun.

Where did the idea of Bolt come from? Almost half of the households have a green-coloured electricity contract. Most of those green contracts do not have a direct impact on the green energy transition. The majority of these contracts are ‘Guaranties of Origins’ of energy from abroad, bought by the supplier. Bolt does it differently and guarantees that the supply of renewable energy really contributes to the transition. 

How? Bolt is Belgium’s first energy platform where you can buy your energy directly from local green producers. When you choose for an energy contract at Bolt, you can choose where and who you get your electricity from. That could be Valerie and Frederik who produce bio energy 

near Gent, or Kevin and Fatih who produce wind energy, or Willy with his solar panels on the roof of Ancienne Belgique in Brussels. All our electricity comes from local initiatives in Belgium, which generate energy in a sustainable way. In this way, you know where your energy comes from and also where your money is spent. 

Apart from that, Bolt expands its mission towards other sectors such as festivals and events where it supplies them with local green energy from mobile solar or wind installations. For example we use our Solar Container, the world’s largest mobile solar installation to power local events from solar energy, which travels all around Belgium during summer. And in 2024 Bolt built the first mobile wind turbine to supply Rock Werchter and Ronquières Festival partly from wind energy. In that way we try to inspire everyone towards an energy neutral future.

As an energy company we believe we can do more than only distribute green energy. That’s why our ambition for 2025 is to also claim an active role in the production of sustainable energy in Belgium. Currently only 33% of the electricity demand in Belgium is produced with renewable energy sources. Even though a lot has been done we are far off the 2030 as well as the 2050 targets for renewables. That’s why we want to invest in renewable energy ourselves and bring green energy closer to all Belgians. We’ve successfully launched our first collective energy project in 2024, the “Brugse zonnetuin”, in Bruges and a crowdlending in 2023 for solar panels on the roof of Ancienne Belgique in Brussels. In 2025 we take another step in this direction.

In summary, Bolt wants to be both a solution to the climate problem and an answer to a misleading market. By connecting you as an energy buyer to a local, sustainable energy producer, you know where your energy comes from. By investing in local sustainable energy project, everyone can play an active role in our renewable energy production. Because of Bolt, you know where your money is going and you can be sure that you are directly contributing to a sustainable electricity network in Belgium.

Together with our growing community we make the power grid in Belgium truly sustainable.
