The agricultural sector
In Belgium, the utilised agricultural area (UAA) accounts for almost 44.6% of the country (StatBel 2022). As a result, a number of infrastructures are located on or near agricultural areas or farms. Elia is aware of this, which is why we wish to establish a special relationship and monitoring with all stakeholders in the sector: whether landowners or farmers. Below, you will find the most frequently asked questions about our facilities, in relation to your activities, whether you are a landowner or a farmer.
Elia is investing in your area !
The energy transition calls for carbon-free power generation, meaning that more electricity will need to be generated from renewable energy sources. These renewable resources must be integrated into an electricity system that delivers excellent performance at regional, national and European level.
The electricity transmission system plays a leading role in bringing about the energy transition, as it is the vehicle for the supply of sustainable, reliable and affordable energy.
- Maximum use is made of existing infrastructure.
- New infrastructure is designed to avoid any impact on the surrounding area.
- Extra measures are taken to minimise any unavoidable impact.
- The remaining impacts are remedied and sometimes result in financial compensation.
