We are excited to announce the signing of a framework agreement with Siemens Energy Hitachi Energy , and GE Vernova for the supply of 110 kV and 150 kV gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) installations. Valued at €180 million, this agreement primarily covers new 150 kV switching stations in the Amsterdam and Rotterdam port areas. With our committed suppliers providing the necessary equipment and specialist knowledge in GIS installations, we can accelerate the construction of these switching stations in the coming years. In the Dutch Randstad region, space for expanding the high-voltage grid with new substations is limited. Compact GIS stations offer a suitable alternative to traditional high-voltage substations with open-air switching stations (AIS). ⚡ This grid expansion is essential to meet the rapidly increasing demand for new and higher-capacity connections. #cooperation #gridexpansion #highvoltage #energytransition #tennet #gridcapacity

13 June marked a significant milestone in the European #electricitymarket as Nominated Electricity Market Operators (NEMOs) and Transmission System Operators (TSOs) organized the successful go-live of the first pan-European Intraday Auctions (IDAs). 🤝 This monumental project which seamlessly coordinated several central, regional, and local systems, showcases the collaborative effort of all NEMOs and TSOs working hand-in-hand, on a daily basis to enhance market efficiency and energy security across #Europe. 💪⚡ The IDAs represent a groundbreaking development in the European #energy landscape, providing Market Parties with new trading opportunities three times a day. For the first time ever, a Big Bang go-live approach was implemented for a pan-European project. Unlike the Continuous #Intraday Market – which required four go-live waves between 2018 and 2022 to cover the entire geographical scope – the implementation of IDAs was achieved in one single, coordinated effort. This unprecedented approach was far more complex and challenging, yet ultimately more efficient.

A scoop! As of June 13, Intraday Auctions (IDAs) is successfully introduced. This means that the price of electricity in the intraday market for almost all European countries is for the first time linked to transfer capacity. The new IDA market mechanism integrates the price of transfer capacity into intraday trading. And that should lead to optimal utilisation of transfer capacity across national borders. Intraday market coupling is an essential part of an efficient and effective European internal energy market for both market parties and TSOs. With the growing share of weather-dependent renewable energy, the importance of interconnection between countries is also increasing. For market parties, cross-border trade is an important tool to balance positions. This is a good example of cooperation moving Europe forward.

Achieving a #climate-neutral grid by 2037: Key messages from Florian Martin at yesterday's EconiQ event hosted by Hitachi Energy 👇 🌍 At TenneT, we aim to achieve a climate-neutral grid by 2037 while ensuring a secure supply. Overcoming bottlenecks and integrating #renewableenergy sources, such as onshore and #offshore wind, are crucial steps. ⚡ We need significant #investments to ensure the availability of required technologies. The #energytransition must prioritise #affordability, necessitating collaboration with suppliers and the right contractual settings. 📊 We observe an increase in volume and a growing emphasis on #sustainability. These trends are shaping the #future of energy distribution across the continent. 🌱 We are tackling upstream emissions through procurement and CO2 reduction strategies. Our SF6 exit #strategy aims a ram up and implementation by 2030 with 2/3 of all our new assets, alongside developing bridging technologies and natural gas-based solutions. 💡 Focusing on procurement and sustainability evaluation criteria, we support technological #innovation, acknowledging that while SF6 applications are superior from a technological standpoint, our portfolio must evolve to more sustainable, SF6-free solutions. 🤝 Through innovation #partnerships and supporting universities, we can raise awareness of climate goals. It’s vital that we work together, not against each other, to achieve these objectives. Many thanks for the invitation! #LightinTheWayAheadTogether 📸 © Hitachi Energy

🎉 Congratulations to Noordzeker (Pensioenfonds ABP, APG and SSE Renewables) and Zeevonk II (Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners) on winning the tender for the IJmuiden Ver Alpha and Beta offshore wind farms.  🙌 We will connect the wind farms through our first two 2 GW DC connections. This will allow us to transport more wind to land than ever before. We look forward to a successful cooperation! In addition, we would like to thank Ministerie van Economische Zaken en Klimaat, Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) and all other participating tender parties immensely for their contribution to the realisation of this tender. A great achievement! Curious how we bring this gigantic amount of wind ashore via our innovative 2GW sockets? Watch the video. #tender #windenergy #energytransition #collaboration

Special support for the Ukrainian national team at the European Football Championship Up to 300 Ukrainian veterans and children of war victims will attend matches of their national team in the group stage in a solidarity initiative supported by eight German #energy companies in cooperation with the Naftogaz Group's charity foundation ‘Energy of Victory of Ukraine’. 🤝 EnBW RWE E.ON Siemens Energy Uniper Amprion GmbH 50Hertz Transmission GmbH Naftogaz of Ukraine

European competitiveness depends on #future-proof electricity grids! ⚡ Robust and smart electricity grids form the backbone of a resilient and #sustainable #energy system, supporting economic growth and energy independence. Grids are key to transmit cost-effective electricity from #renewables to our #industrial centres and to millions of houselholds, enabling a competitive transition. The #EU and its member states can bolster this transition by supporting the rapid deployment and expansion of a future-proof electricity #grid. #GridsEmpower Jobs, learn how here: https://lnkd.in/dh8fda3J
