French multinational electric utility Engie has won a public contract to install and operate 2,926 EV charging points in the Belgian region of Wallonia.

The new AC charging stations, each with a capacity of 22 kW per charging point, will be distributed across 242 municipalities in Wallonia. Installation will take place over the next two years, and Engie, through its dedicated brand Engie Vianeo, will manage operations for a period of ten years.

This contract follows a similar agreement signed in March for the Brussels-Capital Region, covering 1,640 charging points.

Currently, Engie operates nearly 7,000 charging points across Belgium, located in Flanders and Brussels. (Belgium is roughly divided into three regions: Flanders, Wallonia and the Brussels-Capital Region.)

Looking ahead, Engie aims to deploy 12,000 charging points across Belgium by 2028. Engie supplies electricity to 27 countries in Europe and 48 countries worldwide.
