The Engie Electrabel SA is a Belgian power company with a leading position in the entire Benelux . The company is based in Brussels. It is a subsidiary of the French Engie . Electrabel was previously listed, but has been a 100% subsidiary of GDF Suez since 2007. In 2015 the French group was renamed Engie and the subsidiary was named Engie Electrabel .
In 2007 the company achieved a turnover of 15.2 billion euros with 15,000 employees, 10,000 of them in the Benelux countries. The chairman of the board is Jean-Pierre Hansen. Electrabel has a generation park with an installed capacity of 31,200 megawatts (MW), of which 18,000 MW are in the Benelux countries.
Electrabel mainly serves the Benelux countries with electricity and gas. It offers an output in various energy ranges of 16 GW for around 6 million customers. In 2008 Electrabel sold 97.4 TWh of electricity and the equivalent of 72 TWh of natural gas ; It was thus the largest producer of electricity in the Netherlands and Belgium , the largest electricity supplier in Belgium and the second largest gas supplier in Belgium.
Electrabel operates nuclear power plants , including the Doel nuclear power plant and the Tihange nuclear power plant in Belgium. Blocks Doel3 and Tihange2 are no longer viewed as safe by opponents of nuclear power plants, but also by experts in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. The operating company and the Belgian supervisory authority deny this.
In addition, Electrabel operates the Robertville dam (Bévercé power plant), Bütgenbach dam and the Coo-Trois-Ponts pumped storage power plant in the Ardennes as well as the Eemscentrale combined cycle power plant in the Netherlands.
history
The company was originally founded in 1905 as Société d'Électricité de l'Escaut (SEE). The name Electrabel came into being in 1990 after the restructuring of Intercom , Ebes and Unerg .
A subsidiary called Synatom was founded in 2003 for the nuclear energy sector . In 2005, this company agreed to work with COGEMA Logistics , an Areva subsidiary .
The main shareholder of Electrabel was the French company Suez, which increased its stake to 96.7% in 2005. This led to a squeeze-out of the minority shareholders on July 10, 2007. In the following year, 2008, the company was merged with Gaz de France . In 2015, the French group was renamed Engie , and the Electrabel subsidiary was renamed Engie Electrabel for a uniform branding.
Germany
In 1998 the subsidiary Electrabel Energie Deutschland AG was founded in Berlin .
In 2001, Electrabel Energie Deutschland AG and Stadtwerke Saarbrücken founded Energie SaarLorLux , based in Saarbrücken , and one year later it acquired a 49.9 percent stake in the subsidiaries of the city of Gera (Energieversorgung Gera and Kraftwerke Gera).
In 2003, all of the surplus electricity produced by the Gera-Nord power plant was sold via the Leipzig electricity exchange (EEX) as well as via bilateral trading transactions and day-ahead trading. In 2005, Electrabel Energie Deutschland secured sites in Brunsbüttel , Stade and Wilhelmshaven for the construction of hard coal power plants , where the first plant was to be built in 2012. In the same year, Electrabel Germany secured locations in Bavaria and Saxony-Anhalt for the construction of gas and steam turbine plants . The Federal Garden Show in Gera-Ronneburg 2005 was supplied by Energie SaarLorLux with green electricity (83 percent with hydropower from Scandinavia according to the RECS certificate, the rest from renewable energies from Germany). In 2005, the Oldenburg Trade Inspectorate awarded the contract to build a coal-fired power station in Wilhelmshaven, which E.ON is to co-operate.
After the cost-intensive renovation of the Römerbrücke power plant in Saarbrücken in 2004 and 2005, it was taken over by the specially founded subsidiary Electrabel Saarbrücken in 2005.
Electrabel Energie Deutschland was renamed GDF Suez Energie Deutschland in February 2009 and Engie Deutschland AG in 2015 .
