Elia grid load
The Elia grid load is the total load minus non-measured generation on DSO grids.

Total load
The total load includes all the electrical loads on the Elia grid and on the distribution systems connected to it. It also takes account of the estimated power losses. The total load is based on a combination of computation, measurements and extrapolations. In case one or more of the inputs is missing, the graph as well has the historical data will show blanks.
