Elia plays a key role in facilitating the electricity market, from real-time flexibility to long-term system adequacy. Our processes ensure that market participants can provide essential services—running auctions, onboarding and prequalifying assets, verifying service delivery, and more.

  • Optimizing processes by identifying improvements and integrating new products into operational controls.

By taking on these responsibilities, you will develop deep expertise in CRM and related market mechanisms at Elia. Your problem-solving mindset, hands-on approach, and drive for operational excellence will be key to ensuring compliance and quality service.
