The European Commission said Belgian plans to support three offshore wind farm projects were in line with EU state aid rules, and will further energy and climate goals without unduly distorting competition in the single market.

The 235-MW Mermaid, 252-MW Seastar and 219-MW Northwester 2 wind farm projects, located in Belgian territorial waters in the North Sea, will receive EU state aid.

The Commission said the projects were likely to help Belgium meet its target of producing 13% of its energy needs from renewable sources by 2020.
