Elia secured a EUR 1 billion credit facility from the European Investment Bank for the Princess Elisabeth Energy Island on September 7, 2026, as Reuters reported. Elia stock was trading at EUR 116.05 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 5:04 p.m. CEST, down 2.03 percent versus the prior close of EUR 118.45.

EUR 1 billion funds grid infrastructure

The facility supports the second phase of the artificial island project in the North Sea. Reuters said the island will connect future offshore wind farms to Belgium's power grid and described the loan as part of a flagship electricity infrastructure project.

The financing gives Elia a concrete funding source for high-voltage equipment, transformers and alternating-current connections. The project is located 45 kilometers off the Belgian coast, while the island is intended to support new offshore wind capacity and cross-border electricity flows.

Revenue rose 18.00 percent

Elia's revenue increased 18.00 percent in the first half of 2026, according to MarketScreener coverage dated July 29, 2026. Reuters also reported that the company reiterated its full-year profit outlook after reporting higher first-half revenue.

The combination of 18.00 percent revenue growth and a EUR 1 billion project facility puts execution capacity alongside the earnings trend. For investors, the key distinction is that the loan supports a long-duration regulated infrastructure project rather than a short-term operating contract.
