We are primarily tasked with providing power transmission services, system services and facilitating the energy market. Our core tasks follow from our appointment as grid operator under the Dutch 'Elektriciteitswet' (E-wet) and the German 'Energiewirtschaftsgesetz' (EnWG).
Our key tasks
Innovation
TenneT presents Hub and Spoke concept for large scale wind energy on the North Sea.
Read moreOur grid
TenneT manages the high-voltage grid in the Netherlands and large parts of Germany. TenneT transmits electricity at 110,000 volts (110 kV) and higher. With around 24,500 kilometres of high-voltage lines, we cross borders and connect countries.
Offshore Outlook 2050
Already by 2030, the originally planned capacity of 15 gigawatts of offshore wind energy will increase to 20 GW.
To Offshore Outlook 2050Electricity market
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.
To transparency pagesE-Insights
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.
Company
TenneT is a leading European electricity transmission system operator (TSO), with activities in the Netherlands and in Germany. We strive to ensure a reliable and uninterrupted supply of electricity in our high-voltage grid for some 42 million people.

Meet usTenneT power flow simulator
How does our electricity system work? What happens if a power line breaks down? Why do we have to avoid traffic jams in the grid? The TenneT power flow simulator playfully helps you to better understand these and many other questions about our transmission network. Step into the shoes of TenneT and discover the challenges of operating and building your own high-voltage grid.
Introduction
The TenneT power flow simulator gives you the opportunity to operate and build your own electrical grid. It allows you to experience the real-life challenges that transmission system operators like TenneT face every day and it shows you what TenneT does to ensure a reliable and uninterrupted supply of electricity. The "Learn" section playfully guides you through different scenarios and challenges that you need to complete. In the "Explore" section you are free to try out all the functionalities of the system and you can even build your own grid in the ''expert mode''. It is also possible to save the grid that you've built, so that you can continuously keep working on it.
