10 The roles of a Transmission System Operator (TSO)

11 Our vision We lead the way in the energy transition by developing diversified, sustainable and reliable power systems, spanning land and sea, with new possibilities.

12 TSOs at the heart of the electricity system Generation Electricity is generated using conventional and renewable energies. Transmission system operators ensure that generated electricity reaches consumers via distribution system operators (DSOs). Consumers use the generated electricity injected into power grids. 12 PRESENTATION OF THE ELIA GROUP 2018

13 Monitoring the generation/consumption balance in real time, 24 hours a day The grid needs to be enhanced to respond to changes in the balance between generation and consumption and in the volume and location of generating facilities and centres of consumption 13 PRESENTATION OF THE ELIA GROUP 2018

14 Key activities Elia Group 1 Infrastructure management Operation, maintenance, planning and expansion of onshore and offshore highvoltage infrastructure. 2 Controlling the system Balancing the entire electricity system and ensuring its safe operation 24/7. 3 Developing the EU market Being a front runner in the development of the EU electricity market (NWE & CEE regions), to make the EU energy system more competitive, secure and sustainable. 14 PRESENTATION OF THE ELIA GROUP 2018
