Mission & Goals
TenneT is a leading European grid operator. We are committed to providing a secure and reliable supply of electricity 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, while helping to drive the energy transition in our pursuit of a brighter energy future – more sustainable, reliable and affordable. In our role as cross-border Transmission System Operator (TSO) we design, build, maintain and operate over 25,000 kilometres of high-voltage electricity grid in the Netherlands and large parts of Germany, and facilitate the European energy market through our 17 interconnectors to neighbouring countries. We are one of the largest investors in national and international onshore and offshore electricity grids, with an underlying revenue of EUR 8.4 billion and a total underlying asset value of EUR 55 billion. Every day our 9,700 people are highly motivated to ensure that the supply and demand of electricity is balanced and always available for over 43 million people.
