New space on the grid for large consumers of the Zeeland electricity network, insufficient to solve the entire waiting list

“Unfortunately, we are not completely resolving the queues in Zealand today, but we are happy that we can create space on the network,” says Robert Quick, director of network planning at TenneT. Demand for electricity has risen significantly in recent years and the maximum capacity of Zealand’s high-voltage network has been reached. In order to continue to ensure security of supply and network reliability in Zealand, we have had to place more than 150 companies that have requested new or heavier connections on a waiting list from 2023. We realize that this has a significant impact on these customers and on the region, and after today we can grant These customers provide clarification regarding their request.”

TenneT and Stedin will contact those applying for transport capacity about the consequences of this research for their applications. “It is good news for the majority of our customers that new space has become available on the network, although this does not yet apply to all of Zealand,” says Martin Martens, Regional Director of Stedin. We need a few weeks to calculate exactly what this means for our customers. I am pleased that the technical interventions and use of flexible capabilities are bearing fruit and creating a new space.”
