Key figures

“In 2021, Elia Group made huge steps forward as a group. Very positive moves towards internationalisation, digitalisation and the further shaping of our organisation were made. Our large-scale (onshore and offshore) infrastructure projects in both Belgium and Germany are underway, enabling the establishment of an integrated European energy system that includes large amounts of distributed renewable production and cross-border electricity flows. 

We are making the energy transition possible and ensuring that it is progressing at the right pace

Our annual results reflect the excellent performance in our core activities. One of the most significant achievements was the rise in our share of 50Hertz to 80%, giving us full control of the company. The transaction will enable us to strengthen the collaboration between Elia in Belgium and 50Hertz in Germany and underscores our growth ambitions to become a leading Group of transmission system operators in the integrated European energy system. Belgium and Germany are facing specific challenges in achieving the energy transition.
