⇒ Webinar: Smart Grid Developments and Opportunities in the Netherlands 

The Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency (NFIA) together with the Invest in Holland network are hosting a webinar about smart grid developments in our country and opportunities for international companies to join us in advancing smart grid innovation.

The energy transition, the fast pace of electrification and the increasingly distributed production and feed-in of power, are posing steep challenges to our energy system. In the Netherlands, the government, grid operators, distribution companies and universities are working closely together to create next generation solutions for these challenges.

We invite companies from around the world that have developed or are working on smart grid technologies, to join us in this journey. Learn more about the opportunities in this webinar!

Program

• Netherlands Policy on Grid Modernization, Yvette Lammers, Manager for Power Grid and International Energy Policy, Ministry of Climate Policy and Green Growth
• Programs for resolving grid congestion, technologies of interest, Eugène Baijings, Programme Manager Grid Congestion, TenneT
• Improving distribution net efficiencies, energy hubs, technologies and partnerships of interest, Bram Gerrist. Director Innovation & Development, Enexis Group

The Netherlands Ministry of Climate Policy and Green Growth sets the policy and develops the framework for the energy transition in the Netherlands

TenneT is the national grid operator of the Netherlands and oversees the operation of the 380 and 220 kV high-voltage grid, including the offshore wind parks, and its interconnections with neighboring countries. TenneT is investing Euro 160 billion in expanding grid capacity in the Netherlands and Germany over the next ten years.

Enexis operates the distribution network for power and gas to more than five million users in large parts of the Netherlands. Enexis will invest Euro 2 billion annually in the coming years to cope with the fast growing demand for power, and the number of feed-in points, which has tripled to 670,000 in the last seven years.

The Eindhoven Institute for Renewable Energy Systems (EIRES), part of the renowned Technical University of Eindhoven, works on technologies needed for the energy transition, such as materials, processes and systems for energy storage and conversion.
