WindGrid is a subsidiary of international electricity transmission utility Elia Group, the 5th largest transmission utility in Europe. WindGrid develops, builds, owns, and operates offshore transmission infrastructure, leveraging Elia Group’s decades of experience in offshore transmission infrastructure, gained from its subsidiaries, Elia and 50Hertz, transmission system owners and operators (TSOs) in Belgium and Germany.
Both TSOs operate at the heart of the European electricity system as they provide vital links between the various electricity producers and their 30 million end users. The Group’s high voltage network, with its intricately meshed 18,600 km grid, transports the electricity generated by the producers to the distribution system operators and major industrial consumers. In addition, interconnectors with several neighboring countries allow electricity trade in wider European energy markets. WindGrid is a remote team across Europe with head offices in both Brussels and Berlin.
