Our projects in your area

A safe, reliable and efficient grid is key to keeping the lights on and integrating large volumes of renewable energy and new types of consumption. Elia is building the transmission infrastructure of the future to integrate increasing volumes of renewable energy generated onshore and off into the European grid. You can also find us hard at work in your area. Read on to find out where.

Investment plans

To keep the authorities and the electricity market players informed, Elia produces investment plans setting out the grid development projects it plans to implement. Discover how Elia intends to invest in grid development in future.

Safety around our infrastructure

Keeping everyone as safe as possible is vitally important to Elia. Only in a safe environment can we deliver outstanding work. That is why safety is one of our three core values: safety first, society’s interests first, and driven by performance.

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.
