Elia Group, the Belgian-German electricity transmission system operator, held its ordinary and extraordinary general meetings on 19 May 2026, with shareholders approving all proposed resolutions. The meetings covered dividend distribution, governance updates and amendments to the company’s articles of association.
The ordinary general meeting approved a gross dividend of €2.05 per share, payable on 2 June 2026. Shareholders also ratified a new remuneration policy taking effect retroactively from 1 January 2026, and approved several changes to the composition of the Board of Directors, including confirmations of co-optations and the appointment of new directors. The company’s auditors were re-appointed for another term.
The extraordinary general meeting approved four amendments to Elia Group’s articles of association: adjustments to dissociation rules aligned with the company’s needs, authorisation to acquire own shares, an update to the authorised capital, and modifications to the governance structure. All resolutions passed without controversy.
Elia Group operates the Belgian high-voltage electricity transmission grid through its subsidiary Elia Transmission Belgium, and holds a 80% stake in 50Hertz Transmission, which manages the transmission grid in north-eastern Germany. Both grids are central to integrating offshore wind power from the North Sea and Baltic Sea into the European electricity network.
