Belgium probably buys a lot of France nuclear and France has been retrofitting their reactors and there have been a lot of them off-grid for the last year or two. Add to this the Ukraine war energy issues and lack of alternative sources and you get a short-term mess.
Belgium and France really need to look at how to get their respective countries more solarized like Germany - then use solar+batteries to balance the crazy electricity spikes.
