Get to know Elia Group and our projects. How do we keep the lights on, you might ask. With these stories, we take you on the road with us. Buckle up and plug into our stories.
This summer, the Elia teams in Leest once again demonstrated what it means to be ‘guardians of the grid’. Several months later, we look back on the storm that hit the Mechelen region this summer, causing nine high-voltage pylons to topple over. Our 5-part series, ‘Guardians of the Grid’, highlights the qualities that characterise our teams so well: expertise, commitment with safety as a top priority, cooperation, empathy, and a sense of duty to the community.
