Characterised not so much by striking events as by the completion of a number of important projects. And that of course in addition to the activities that can be expected of a grid operator: providing safe, reliable and affordable energy to customers. A role behind the scenes. However, the major outage in the first days of the year that hit Enschede, made it clear in just seconds that a reliable energy supply remains a permanent top priority. And in this manner, we look back on this year. Proud of what we have achieved, but also more determined than ever to ensure the quality of our core activities.

On the one hand, a strong and a rapid ascendency of electric cars, demand an active role in organisation with healthy financial business operations and, on the development of the grids. And where sustainability is concerned, the other hand, a well-balanced policy, in which all stakeholders we can only be pleased that we took a pro-active approach and have are served optimally, now and in the future. This often leads to carried out an inventory of our tasks and translated this into policy. dilemmas.
