Frédéric has been with Elia for over 20 years, during which time he has held various operational and management positions. On 1 November 2022, Frédéric Dunon was appointed Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Elia Transmission Belgium. He also heads up the Executive Management Board of Elia Transmission Belgium and is permanently invited to the meetings of the Executive Management Board of Elia Group.

"Our company is at a turning point: more than ever, our priority is to realise the energy transition in the interests of society, our customers and Belgian consumers. We must ensure a sustainable, reliable and affordable system to safeguard Belgian companies and the well-being of our country. We must demonstrate this resolve every day. The next few years will see unprecedented electrification and growth in renewable energy. Building the necessary infrastructure to facilitate this transition is a top priority for Elia in Belgium.

This is precisely why it is vital to foster good cooperation within the energy sector."
