Offshore Wind Veteran Ina Kamps Joins TenneT Germany Executive Board as Chief Operating Officer

Ina Kamps

(IN BRIEF) Effective 1 December 2025, Ina Kamps will assume the role of COO at TenneT Germany, completing the Executive Board alongside CEO Tim Meyerjürgens, CFO Dr. Markus Binder, and CTO Kathrin Günther. Her appointment follows the Group’s January 2025 restructuring, which formed separate Dutch and German transmission entities. Kamps will lead grid expansion and maintenance—onshore and offshore—and safety operations. Both Manon van Beek and Tim Meyerjürgens underscored her offshore wind and international energy expertise. Previously BP’s Head of Offshore Wind Germany, Kamps brings extensive industry involvement, including work with the BWO.

(PRESS RELEASE) ARNHEM, 9-Jul-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — TenneT Germany has named Ina Kamps as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO), effective 1 December 2025. In her expanded remit, Kamps will direct all operational facets of Germany’s largest transmission system operator, with an emphasis on the expansion and upkeep of both onshore and offshore grids, as well as ensuring network safety.

With Kamps joining Tim Meyerjürgens (CEO), Dr. Markus Binder (CFO), and Kathrin Günther (CTO), the four-member Executive Board of TenneT Germany is now fully staffed. This leadership team structure follows TenneT Group’s realignment at the start of 2025, which split operations into two independent entities—TenneT Netherlands and TenneT Germany—under a unified holding company. These strategic appointments not only solidify TenneT Germany’s national focus but also pave the way for potential new investors.

“Securing an executive of Ina Kamps’s caliber—an internationally seasoned professional with deep operational know-how—is a significant achievement for TenneT Germany,” said Manon van Beek, CEO of TenneT Holding and Chair of TenneT Germany’s Supervisory Board. “Her leadership will be crucial in safely operating and expanding our grid infrastructure to meet future energy demands.”

Tim Meyerjürgens, CEO of TenneT Germany, added, “Filling the last seat on our Executive Board marks a key milestone. Ina’s proven track record in offshore wind and her strategic grasp of the energy sector make her the perfect leader for our core operations as we accelerate grid build-out for the energy transition.”

Expressing her enthusiasm, Ina Kamps remarked, “I am driven by the opportunity to shape tomorrow’s energy system. A robust, integrated transmission grid is vital for Germany’s—and Europe’s—resilience and competitiveness. As COO, I look forward to collaborating with our team, customers, and government stakeholders to deliver safe, reliable grid expansion and operations.”

Kamps joins from BP, where she served as Head of Offshore Wind Germany, overseeing the company’s offshore wind projects. She also holds active roles in industry bodies like the German Offshore Wind Energy Association (BWO), championing progress on grid connections, infrastructure planning, and decarbonization goals.
