🔌 Investment plan for the energy transition in Flanders Elia’s updated investment plan for the local distribution net in Flanders (2026–2035) has been approved by the Flemish regulator @VNR, confirming the need to strengthen the electricity grid. The energy transition is placing increasing pressure on local electricity networks. This investment plan provides a concrete and forward-looking response to these challenges, including: ⚡ the integration of renewable energy ⚡ the electrification of industry and mobility ⚡ the increasing demand for grid connections With 266 projects, including 54 in the short term and 212 in the longer term, the plan represents a significant scale-up compared to previous plan. 💡 Elia’s investment plan combines ambition and realism: while significantly reinforcing the electricity grid to support electrification and economic growth, it also acknowledges current capacity constraints by relying on flexible connections where needed. This balanced approach ensures that available network capacity is used as efficiently as possible, allowing new users to continue connecting in a structured and coordinated way in partnership with Fluvius and the Flemish regulator (VNR). 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eVuG2Tvg   #EnergyTransition #ElectricityGrid #Elia
