The energy sector is developing rapidly. The process of European market integration began some years ago. Its purpose is to create a single European market that enables market parties to trade gas and electricity across national borders easily and efficiently.

Transparency data
We provide transparency data on our operations on our Dutch and German transparency page and on ENTSO-E.

Our vision is to be one of the most transparent Transmission System Operators (TSO) in Europe and thereby creating value for society. In this Energy Insights section we present selected energy related topics and show data, information and valuable insights.
Profit targets
Our ambition concerning profit is connected to one specific United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). The table below shows how our sustainable development is both transparent and measurable. Unless stated otherwise, the following tables shows aggregated data for the Netherlands and Germany.
Profit
Profitability and return on capital are important for TenneT to remain attractive to capital providers and be able to finance our business and anticipated growth. Our profit ambition and investments contribute to SDG 7, which seeks to ensure access to affordable and clean energy for all.

Further information
TenneT has played an active role in the green finance market over the past three years. Our use of green financing is a logical step for us as we work to connect society to a sustainable and reliable supply of electricity. Green financing instruments are an important tool for financing projects with clear
environmental benefits, such as connecting renewable energy infrastructure. This is particularly valuable as our industry faces the challenge of financing the transition to renewable energy.
