Elia Group Tech Stack
European transmission system operator balancing 30M end users across 19,349 km of grid
Elia Group operates one of Europe's top-5 transmission networks, managing electricity flow across Belgium and eastern Germany with 99.99% reliability. The tech stack is heavily SAP-centric (S/4HANA, BTP, SuccessFactors, Ariba) paired with cloud infrastructure (Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform) and observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk) — a pattern reflecting a large utility modernizing legacy on-premises systems while building automation and monitoring capabilities. Engineering-heavy hiring (95 roles) combined with active projects in HV substation construction, renewable integration, and S/4HANA migration signals an organization scaling to handle grid complexity and energy transition demands.
