Improved grid management, Facilitating the energy transition

SDG: 9 - Industry, innovation and infrastructure

Why is this topic relevant?

Electricity consumption is rising very steeply as a result of the energy transition and adherence to the agreements in the Dutch Climate Agreement. Not all parts of the electricity grid are ready yet to absorb that increase. To safeguard the reliability of the grids into the future, it is essential that we invest in grid reinforcement. We are also focusing more on innovative, smart solutions in cooperation with the market.

Connection to risks (R) and opportunities (O)

R: Insufficient connection and transmission capacity - Availability of materials - Increased likelihood of surge to replace obsolete assets - High activity in outdoor space and below ground - Lack of people with the required competencies - Increasing pressure to maintain the A- category credit rating (at S&P) in the long term - Uncertainty about the implications of changes in the Dutch and/or European laws and regulations on electricity and gas / O: Utilisation of new energy carriers - Increase predictability of investments through improved prediction of customer demand - Perform comprehensive assessment for allocating investments between electricity, gas or future energy sources.
