Vlaams minister\u00a0Jo Brouns (CD&V), heeft netbeheerder Elia een milieuvergunning verleend voor het langverwachte Ventilus-project, zo maakte hij maandag bekend. <\/span><\/p>\n

De windenergiesector en milieuorganisaties zijn opgelucht; actiegroepen en bedrijven langs de route zijn teleurgesteld. \u201cMinister Brouns negeert 3.000 bezwaren volledig,\u201d zeggen tegenstanders.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nieuwe hoogspanningslijn<\/h4>\n

Ventilus is de nieuwe hoogspanningslijn die Elia in West-Vlaanderen wil aanleggen om de elektriciteit die door de nieuwe offshore windmolenparken wordt opgewekt, naar het vasteland te transporteren.\u00a0<\/span>Hoogspanningsnetbeheerder Elia wil tegen de zomer beginnen met de bouw van de nieuwe hoogspanningslijn.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ventilus zal lopen van het strand in Zeebrugge tot het hoogspanningsstation in Avelgem, met de versterking van bestaande lijnen en de aanleg van nieuwe hoogspanningskabels tussen Lendelede en Zedelgem.<\/span><\/p>\n

De 82 kilometer lange hoogspanningsverbinding tussen Zeebrugge en Avelgem in West-Vlaanderen zal deels ondergronds en deels bovengronds lopen. De aanleg van deze nieuwe bovengrondse lijn is bijzonder controversieel, vooral in West-Vlaanderen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Oppositie<\/h4>\n

Tegenstanders maken zich zorgen over de gevolgen voor het milieu en de mogelijke gezondheidsrisico's voor mens en dier. <\/span>Burgers vrezen gezondheidsschade door elektromagnetische straling, hoewel er geen wetenschappelijk bewijs is om deze bewering te staven<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eind 2025 waren er meer dan 2.500 reacties binnengekomen na een eerste openbaar onderzoek. Op basis daarvan had Elia al een aantal aanpassingen doorgevoerd. De burgers konden zich opnieuw uitspreken over deze aanpassingen, waarna nog eens een 500-tal reacties volgden.<\/span><\/p>\n

Verschillende burgemeesters van West-Vlaamse gemeenten waar de nieuwe hoogspanningslijn Ventilus doorheen zal lopen, hebben aangegeven dat ze in beroep zullen gaan tegen de recent toegekende milieuvergunning. <\/span>Dit betreft gemeenten waar een nieuwe bovengrondse lijn zal worden aangelegd.<\/span><\/p>\n

Energiesector tevreden<\/h4>\n

De windenergiesector is daarentegen tevreden met de Ventilus-vergunning. \u201cDe huidige energiecrisis toont eens te meer aan dat investeringen in energie van eigen bodem, zoals windenergie op zee, erg belangrijk zijn.\u2018\u00a0<\/span>Met dit project wil Elia het verzadigde West-Vlaamse elektriciteitsnet versterken en ervoor zorgen dat de energie die door offshore windturbines wordt opgewekt, de kust bereikt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOm de energie die wordt opgewekt in de Princess Elisabeth Zone, het tweede windgebied in de Noordzee, aan land te brengen, moeten we ons net versterken,\u201d bevestigt Elia. \u201cDe bouw van Ventilus is noodzakelijk om de elektriciteit uit de Noordzee naar de consument te brengen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDe geopolitieke situatie van vandaag toont eens te meer aan hoe belangrijk dergelijke strategische investeringen in het elektriciteitsnet zijn,\u201d reageert Brouns.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hernieuwbare energie<\/h4>\n

Bond Beter Leefmilieu (BBL) is tevreden met de vergunning die door minister Brouns is verleend. <\/span>\u201cZonder deze verbinding blijft ons enorme potentieel aan hernieuwbare energie op zee steken\u201d, zegt directeur Benjamin Clarysse. BBL<\/span> vindt het ook een goede zaak dat de lijn langs snelwegen loopt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ventilus zou in 2030 klaar moeten zijn. <\/span>In Walloni\u00eb heeft Elia soortgelijke plannen als Ventilus voor Boucle-du-Hainaut. De Boucle sluit aan op Ventilus in Avelgem en loopt over ongeveer 80 kilometer naar Courcelles. <\/span>Boucle-du-Hainaut bevindt zich nog in de voorbereidingsfase en zou ten vroegste in 2033 klaar moeten zijn.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
