Possible entry of new shareholders

In early 2024, the provinces of Zeeland and Utrecht announced their intention to join as shareholders of Stedin Group, based on the same price conditions as the State, for an amount of € 5 million and € 15 million respectively. This would further strengthen Stedin’s equity and ensure that all regions in our service area are represented as shareholders. Stedin Group’s current shareholders will resolve on this at the end of March 2024. For more information, see Financially healthy.
