Connection tariffs

Parties connected to the national high‑voltage grid (regional grid administrators, producers and consumers) pay a connection tariff to TenneT. This connection tariff covers various costs, such as those associated with the realisation, maintenance and replacement of a connection to the high‑voltage grid. 

Connection tariff components

The connection tariff comprises two components: 

• the initial connection tariff; 
• the periodic connection tariff.         

Initial connection tariff

The initial connection tariff covers the costs of creating the connection to the high‑voltage grid.

Connections to TenneT’s high‑voltage grid are tailor‑made. Therefore, the initial connection tariff varies between connections. As soon as the connection is completed, TenneT will send an invoice for the full initial connection tariff. 

Periodic connection tariff

The periodic connection tariff covers the costs of maintaining and, if necessary, replacing the connection. Connected parties with multiple connections receive a separate invoice for each individual connection. The periodic connection tariff is a fixed amount that is updated once a year.
