6 One Group Two TSO Companies with International Activities The Elia Group is expanding its international activities through Elia Grid International 6

7 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. 7

8 TSOs at the Heart of the Electricity System Producers Electricity is produced from conventional and renewable energies. Transmission System Operators Ensure that electricity arrives from the producer to the consumer via the distribution system operators. Consumers Use the electricity fed by the producer into the power transmission grids. 8

9 Addressing the EU Objectives Security of supply Competitiveness Sustainability 9

10 Key Activities Elia Group 1 Infrastructure management Operation, maintenance, planning and expansion of the on- and offshore high voltage infrastructure. 2 Controlling the system Secure operation and balancing of the whole electricity system, 24/7. 3 Developing the EU market Front runner in the development of the EU electricity market (NWE & CEE regions) to make the EU energy system more competitive, secure and sustainable. 10
