About Elia

Elia is not just Belgium’s transmission system operator – it is also a key player at European level.
Together with our colleagues at 50Hertz in Germany, we are part of Elia Group.

We connect generation and distribution

Elia is Belgium’s high-voltage transmission system operator (30 kV to 400 kV), operating over 8,867 km of lines and underground cables throughout Belgium.

In the interest of society

Our company plays a crucial role in the community by transmitting electricity from generators to distribution systems, which in turn deliver it to the consumer. Elia also plays an essential part in the economy, as our system supplies power directly to major companies connected to the grid.

In the heart of Europe

Boasting a pivotal location in Europe, Elia is also a key player in the energy market and the interconnected electricity system. Our company has set up multiple initiatives promoting the development of an efficient, transparent and fair electricity market for the benefit of consumers.
