Dec 15, 2022 - Elia signed an agreement about the funding of the energy island
We at Elia signed an agreement with the Government relating to financial support offered up as part of the European Commission’s Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF). The €99.7 million grant will be used to construct the Princess Elisabeth Island, which will become a major European energy hub. Located about 45 km off the Belgian coast, the island will bring renewable energy produced by wind farms in the second offshore wind zone to shore. In time, it will also serve as a hub for additional interconnectors with Great Britain (Nautilus) and Denmark (Triton Link).
