Peter Van Praet

CEO at Belipact Group | Powering the energy transition | Home, Business & Infra

Belgium

About

As of March 2026, I lead Belipact Group as CEO — a Belgian group powering the energy transition across three segments: Home, Business, and Infrastructure. Our operating companies (Belivert, Ingelec, Batimont, Battery4Industry) deliver the electrical installations, building technology, and energy infrastructure that make the transition real — from residential solar, batteries and heat pumps to large-scale industrial and infrastructure projects. My focus: integrating recently acquired companies into a scalable, professionally managed group while preserving the entrepreneurial energy that made them successful. Before Belipact, I spent 20+ years building, scaling, and turning around businesses across Europe, North America, and the Middle East — always at the intersection of energy and technology. Key chapters include: — COO at NW Groupe (BESS infrastructure, Paris) — CEO at IECharge (high-power charging CPO, Europe) — COO/CCO at EVBox (global EV charging, Amsterdam) — VP Business Development at ENGIE Services (Canada) What I bring to the table: hands-on operational leadership, M&A execution (from sourcing to post-merger integration), and the ability to build structure without killing speed. MBA from Antwerp Management School (Great Distinction). Belgian. Based in Belgium. Open to connecting with fellow operators, investors, and anyone building in energy transition and technical services.
