Future-proof energy system

The energy transition in the Netherlands is accelerating, but traditional grid reinforcement cannot keep up with the growing pressure on the electricity network. Congestion, technological limitations, and fragmented planning threaten reliability, delay connections, and increase costs. The pressure on our onshore grid is growing.

TNO has built a leading position in offshore system innovation. Now, the focus shifts onshore: developing smart, flexible, and reliable energy networks that connect generation at sea with demand on land, laying the foundation for a future-proof energy system.

Join our webinar

Join our webinar to explore how smart energy networks can offer a coordinated, system-level response to today’s grid challenges.

Discover how TNO’s innovations are bridging offshore and onshore systems, strengthening the backbone of tomorrow’s sustainable energy supply. Learn how integrated grid solutions can reduce congestion, unlock capacity, and ensure a secure, affordable, and resilient energy future.

Key questions:

  • How can grid congestion be reduced and short-term capacity unlocked?
  • What is the potential of hybrid systems and sector coupling to stabilize the grid from the supply side?
  • How can new technologies support the balance between supply and demand and improve market coordination?
  • Which governance and investment frameworks are needed to enable scalable, smart energy infrastructure?
