Making the energy supply and our organisation sustainable

As a network operator, we are not only preparing our gas and electricity networks for a sustainable future. We are also preparing our market facilitating systems and services for the future. We are working towards a new situation of higher awareness and more choices in energy generation and consumption, and a sustainable energy system which is reliable, accessible and affordable. We cannot do this alone. To achieve this goal, all parties need to have a clear picture of what the energy system in 2050 looks like and how we can reach it.

  • 1The results of the gross CO2 emissions and decarbonisation for 2022 were recalculated based on the most recent emission factors and more up-to-date insights into the total network losses for electricity and gas in 2022.
  • 2The scope of the Circularity KPI comprises primary assets: Low-voltage and medium-voltage cables, gas pipes, distribution and power transformers, and smart electricity and gas meters.
  • 3This score is discussed in more detail under ‘Circular Procurement’ later in this section.
