  • Full Year Results: Elia Group Makes Crucial Investments for Energy Transition While Delivering Strong Financial Results
    PRESS RELEASE | Brussels, 3 March 2021 8:00 am – Elia Group (Euronext: ELI) Full year results: Elia Group makes crucial investments for energy transition while delivering strong financial results Regulated information Highlights — Grid investments of €337.4 million in Belgium and €715.9 million in Germany while maintaining an excellent safety record and ensuring a reliable and sustainable energy system, resulting in asset growth of 6.1% — Resilient organisation delivering on investments and ensuring continuity of supply during this challenging period — Adjusted net profit up 0.6% to €308.1 million1 driven by the realisation of investments, a solid operational performance in Belgium, Germany and Nemo Link and regulatory settlements in Germany — Elia Transmission and Eurogrid GmbH successfully accessed the debt capital market with green financing lowering the average cost of debt to the benefit of society — A dividend of €1.71 per share will be proposed at the General Meeting on 18 May 2021 Looking back at 2020, I am particularly proud of the commitment and resilience of our employees and contractors and the way they immediately anticipated the COVID measures. Working under difficult circumstance, Elia Group delivered complex infrastructure projects like the ALEGrO and Combined Grid Solution interconnectors and we continued our operational activities to ensure a reliable grid in the interest of society. Although no other event in recent history has hit the economy as hard as the coronavirus, we are optimistic about the future. Given Europe’s objective of becoming the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, the European Green Deal will likely serve as a compass in many recovery plans with a focus on the green economy and digitalisation, both of which are key components of our strategy.
