Elia System Operator SA confirmed financial guidance for 2012 As stated in the half-year report for 2012, the company cannot make any specific profit forecasts since the annual result depends on parameters that will not be known (such as the inflation figure for December 2012) or calculated (such as the average Belgian 10-year interest rate, the beta of the Elia share and the total amount invested by Eurogrid/50Hertz) until the end of the year. The company confirms the financial forecasts for 2012 due to very good results in Germany which offset the less good results in Belgium due to an record low 10-year interest rate. The investments and major maintenance works planned by both transmission system operators for 2012 are on schedule.
