(IN BRIEF) Dutch grid manager TenneT has collected 47 responses from stakeholders regarding its draft investment plans for the period 2024-2033, which were made public on November 1. These investment plans outline the expansion and replacement projects for both onshore and offshore electricity and gas networks.

TenneT will now review and process the feedback before submitting the finalized investment plans to the energy market regulator, ACM, in early January.

(PRESS RELEASE) ARNHEM, 3-Dec-2023 — /EuropaWire/ — TenneT has received 47 reactions to the draft investment plans 2024-2033. The new plans were published on November 1, and so-called views on them could be submitted for a period of 4 weeks.

TenneT will use the coming weeks to process the responses. The draft investment plans will be submitted to the regulator ACM in early January.

All grid managers draw up so-called investment plans every two years. In the plans, the grid managers describe the expansion and replacement investments for the electricity and gas networks. The investment plans thus provide insight into how additional capacity will be created and how the quality of the networks will be safeguarded. TenneT makes two investment plans, one for the onshore high-voltage grid and one for the offshore grid.

When it was published in early November, it became clear that major adjustments to the grids can be expected in the coming years as a result of the energy transition. Some 700 projects are planned, double the previous investment plans. Substantial expansions at sea and on land are planned.

The plans were available for inspection by interested parties for four weeks. During that period, 47 views were received. In 2022, there were 35. TenneT is using the coming weeks to process the responses. In early January, TenneT will send the next version of the draft investment plan to the energy market regulator, ACM.
