Transmission System Operator TenneT
Next time you turn on the lights, take a moment to think about where that power comes from. In the Netherlands and Germany, it was very likely brought to you by us, TenneT. As the Transmission System Operator (TSO) for the Netherlands, and a significant part of Germany, TenneT owns and operates over 24,500 kilometres of high-voltage lines and cables. We deliver electricity to 42 million domestic and business users, safely and reliably, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. With over 6,600 employees in two countries, we are driven by our mission to ensure the lights stay on and that power is available, at the flick of a switch, whenever and wherever you need it.
To do this, we design, build, maintain and operate a high-voltage grid stretching across land and sea. This carries electricity from where it is made – including a rapidly increasing proportion of wind and solar energy – to where it is used. We carry it over ground, underground, under the sea and across borders, over our rapidly expanding high-voltage grid. With a service level as high as 99.99%, we are one of the best in the world at our job.
