Our Story

Renewable energy transition for businesses, guiding businesses through the process of shifting from conventional to renewable energy.
about EGI

Born inside a TSO, Built to advise yours

EGI was born from a simple conviction within Elia Group: the know-how behind one of Europe’s top five grid operators should not stay at home. Our founders knew first-hand what it takes to plan, build and run a power transmission system. They wanted to put that experience to work wherever grids were being reshaped. They also knew the exchange would run both ways, and that every market would teach them something new to bring home.

our mission

Every transition runs on the grid

Security, sovereignty, competitiveness and climate all depend on one asset. Renewables, data centres, new markets and new rules are changing what that asset must deliver, and every country is moving at its own speed.
