We’re building a new high-voltage substation in Ghent, a key hub for the industry and energy transition. Elia has received the permit and will start construction this year on Baekeland, a new 380/150kV high-voltage substation in the Ghent area of North Sea Port. Strategically located between the coast and the ports of Ghent and Antwerp, Baekeland will become a crucial link in Belgium’s electricity backbone. The site will be developed in phases, with most substations scheduled to go live in 2030. The first phase, preparing the 15-hectare site, has already been completed. Thanks to Baekeland, the Ghent port and surrounding industries will gain significantly better access to electricity, including green power from the North Sea. This strengthens the reliability of our grid and supports the region’s electrification and decarbonisation. 🔗 Curious to learn more?
