Notable projects supported by the parent company include the Ventilus project in Flanders, which selected a route in March 2023 for offshore wind integration, and the Rimière project, which invested €41.6 million in 2023 for new power plant capacity by 2025 (source: investor.eliagroup.eu). EGI is also involved in studies for interconnections like Nemo with the UK, and has key clients such as the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC), for which it conducted a study on green hydrogen integration in 2023.
