Brattle Rapport naar aansluitbeleid TenneT

• Support for ‘first-come-first-served’ principle and temporary measures aimed at maximising the amount of requested production capacity that can be connected to the grid
• Proposal to increase transparency with regard to connection options
• Proposal to introduce a system of milestones and cancellation fines
• Proposal to introduce ‘advanced’ planning methodology

In February of this year, the Office of Energy Regulation (DTe) requested TenneT to commission an external agency to conduct an independent investigation of TenneT’s current connection policy. TenneT subsequently selected the Brattle Group to conduct the study. In addition to its own investigations, the firm consulted several third parties who were recently involved in TenneT connection procedures. In its report, the Brattle Group recommends that key elements of the current policy be retained. The consulting firm also presented several proposals for further improvement of the connection policy, including enhanced transparency, introduction of a system involving milestones and cancellation fines, and a new planning methodology. In its response, TenneT has pointed out that implementation of some of these measures would require an amendment to the Dutch Electricity Act.
