Elia's 85-kilometer Boucle du Hainaut route is moving forward while Elia stock trades at EUR 122.35 on October 20, 2026. Focus WTV reported that the Walloon government selected the preferred corridor, including at least eight kilometers underground, and Elia said the project could proceed.

Route approval changes the timetable

The corridor runs for 85 kilometers across 14 municipalities and is intended to enter service in 2032 or 2033, according to Test-Aankoop on October 14, 2026. The project is designed to ease grid congestion, support new connections and connect additional offshore wind capacity.

The approval is procedural rather than final. A public inquiry and further planning steps remain before the definitive perimeter and construction permit, with final approval expected no earlier than the end of 2027, Test-Aankoop wrote.

What does the compensation mean?

The financial and political burden is the next test. Elia said a compensation framework could cover about 40 companies affected by high-voltage construction, including properties within 100 meters of a new overhead line, according to Telesambre on October 17, 2026.

Three dates define the project

On October 12, 2026, Wallonia selected an 85-kilometer preferred corridor with at least eight kilometers underground. On October 17, 2026, Elia clarified compensation rules for about 40 companies. On October 19, 2026, La DH reported local opposition to a route passing through Frasnes-lez-Anvaing.

The next scheduled company dates are a quarterly statement on November 27, 2026, and full-year results on March 3, 2027, according to Elia Group.

Stock price and project risk

The route offers a long-term investment pipeline, but the timeline still includes consultations, compensation and permitting. For investors, the key question is whether Elia can convert network expansion into regulated asset growth while containing local opposition.
