Mission and vision statement

TenneT is an important facilitator in the liberalised energy market. With its high‑quality transmission grid and customised approach, TenneT offers and develops a comprehensive range of transmission and system services, while also supplying services in support of free-market operation and a sustainable energy supply system.

Our vision

TenneT wishes to develop further in the Dutch and northwestern European market in order to strengthen its position in that market. This ambition fits into the ‘Strengthen and Build’ strategy that TenneT has adopted against the backdrop of international market developments. As a Transmission System Operator (TSO), TenneT wants to play an active role in strengthening the European electricity market, based on an international vision in which we show initiative and take specific steps together with other TSOs, regulating bodies and government authorities. Integrating the electricity markets of the various countries is the best way to create a strong European market characterised by transparency, sufficient liquidity and good pricing. The goal is a single market area in northwestern Europe in which TSOs will solve congestions and market parties will not face restrictions. This market area will have a common system for balancing supply and demand, thus creating the uniformity that market parties need in order to cover their risks.

Our ambitions

TenneT makes every effort to ensure optimum quality across the board, supplying its customers as efficiently and professionally as possible with services and products. Where relevant and possible, we also develop and market new products and services. It is our ambition to realise an integrated, strong and independent national transmission grid, to develop this grid further and to safeguard its quality. After all, the transmission grid is the backbone of the Dutch electricity supply system. To enhance the security of supply, it is important for all transmission grids to be uniformly managed and centrally organised and controlled. This opens the door to efficiency gains, because the development, administration and control of grids will no longer be divided between the different regions, but will take place nationally.

Our core values

TenneT operates in accordance with two core values: quality and integrity. These values express our shared identity as an organisation and guide all our decisions and activities. At TenneT, quality means that we strive to meet high process and performance standards in all that we do. The key is to focus continually on controlling and improving our activities and safeguarding their quality. To ensure our integrity, we operate in a reliable, impartial and transparent manner, both internally and in relation to third parties.
