Elia Group publishes "Roadmap to Net Zero", our vision on building a climate-neutral European energy system by 2050
Tremendous efforts from across society are required to fight global warming. And yet, uncertainty remains about the necessary policies and the roadmap that can lead us to net zero.
It is this uncertainty that triggered our present Elia Group study, which focuses on the electricity system and includes insights into three of its most important dimensions: energy balance, flexibility and adequacy. Based on these key insights, we identified different focus points that should be considered on the road to 2050.
Our study provides energy system insights and defines focus points for an efficient energy transition as we head towards 2050.
The results are relevant for Europe as a whole, the entire energy sector and for policymakers.

Elia Group SA/NV is the Belgian transmission system operator, transmitting electricity efficiently, reliably and securely from producers to distribution system operators and major industrial users. The group is responsible for importing and exporting electricity from and to neighbouring countries.
Elia Group SA/NV owns the entire Belgian very high voltage grid (150 to 380 kV) and some 94% (ownership and user rights) of the Belgian high-voltage grid (30 to 70 kV). The grid is a key link between electricity markets in northern and southern Europe. It also links Belgian producers and consumers. Belgium's recent investment in interconnection capacity with its neighbours makes it one of the most open and interconnected grids in Europe.
Elia Group SA/NV has recently expanded its activities on a broader European level and, following its acquisition of the German TSO 50Hertz and in cooperation with Industry Funds Management (IFM), is now one of the top five transmission system operators in Europe.
