Development of the beddings of the electricity transportation network as means of enhancing biodiversity (ELIA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

Background As a transmitter of electricity, Elia’s priority is to ensure the security of the electricity network. This sometimes means that forest corridors are created to secure overhead lines. These corridors are currently often “no man’s land”, without any vegetation or wildlife. However, these same corridors could form an important network of ...
