25 years of Elia: powered by our people

On Sunday, June 28, Elia celebrated a meaningful milestone: 25 years of keeping the lights on and driving the energy transition forward.
A moment like this is an opportunity to look back with pride, but even more importantly, to recognise what truly powers our journey: our people.

A collective story,
25 candles at a time

To celebrate our anniversary, 25 colleagues placed a candle on a shared cake – one candle for every year of Elia. And of course… no birthday is complete without blowing out the candles.

A simple gesture, but a powerful symbol.

Frédéric Dunon, CEO at Elia Transmission Belgium:
“Behind every milestone, every project, and every innovation, there are people. People who bring their expertise, their passion, and their energy every single day.

For 25 years, Elia has been shaped by colleagues who chose to grow, collaborate, and make an impact on the grid, on society, and on each other.”

More than a grid: a mission that connects us

What started 25 years ago has grown into a company that plays a key role in society.
Today, Elia is a reliable and responsible transmission system operator, committed to building a sustainable energy future.

But our story is not just about infrastructure or technology.
It’s about how we work together to make the energy transition a reality. Now and for the generations to come.

At Elia, purpose and people go hand in hand. Our ambition to power the energy transition can only succeed thanks to the talent, dedication, and collaboration of our teams.

Looking ahead: be part of what’s next

Celebrating 25 years is not just about looking back. It’s about what comes next.

The challenges of the energy transition are bigger than ever, and so are the opportunities to make a real difference.

That’s why we’re always looking for people who want to contribute, grow, and help shape the future of energy.

At Elia, you don’t just work on the grid. You help build the world of tomorrow.
