NIS2 in Belgium: Are You Considered an ‘energy Producer’ if You Generate Power Solely for Your Own Use?

By / Blog /

Belgium's NIS2 legislation classifies energy producers broadly. Companies generating energy solely for internal use, like solar or wind power, may still be deemed “energy producers” under NIS2 if they meet size criteria (medium or large). Thus, even minor energy generating activities can lead to compliance obligations, including incident reporting. However, proportionate oversight may be applied, recognizing lower societal impact from smaller operations.
