Dec 2, 2022 - Avelgem-Avelin inauguration



We unveiled with @RTE the reinforcement of the electricity connection between our two countries. One step closer to security of supply for Belgium and France! The inauguration took place in the presence of the Walloon Minister of Energy, Philippe Henry and representatives from the French public authorities. The Avelgem-Avelin connection is now equipped with high temperature, low sag (HTLS) conductors, state-of-the-art technology which enables twice the amount of power to be carried across it (from 3 to 6 GW). The Avelgem-Avelin project is essential for meeting the energy and climate challenges of today and tomorrow. By optimising the existing infrastructure, the two TSOs are ensuring the enhancement of security of supply in both countries, due to a higher capacity for electricity exchange between them. They also increased the integration of the European electricity market and the integration of renewable energy produced by new generation units, thereby helping to achieve climate objectives.
