Our role
We advocate an energy supply system where everyone has access to reliable, affordable and sustainable energy on equal terms. By continuously improving our network, we are preparing for the future. A future in which everyone can use, produce and share sustainable energy. We invest in the development of the energy networks and explore and implement innovative solutions. Together with our partners, municipal and provincial authorities, we define a roadmap for our customers’ plans for the future and offer solutions to complex energy transition issues. Affordability and sustainability play a key role in the choices we make.
Management and development
As a network operator, we have been statutorily tasked with managing and further developing the gas and electricity grids. Liander, our largest subsidiary that brings in 95% of Alliander's revenue, develops, designs and manages the gas and electricity networks and is available 24/7 to repair faults. Liander shares knowledge and expertise with customers and public authorities to collaboratively create the most suitable energy network for everybody. In addition, Liander is developing local infrastructures for new energy sources, such as heat and hydrogen.
The energy we distribute comes from a variety of sources such as power stations, wind farms, solar farms, green gas imports and from abroad. We are connected to TenneT's high-voltage network and Gasunie's gas network. More and more consumers and businesses are feeding sustainable energy back into our energy grids. As a result, energy supply and demand have become interwoven, influencing one another.
Innovation and design
Alliander and its subsidiaries collaborate with various parties in the energy sector, such as the other network companies, and with companies that innovate in the field of energy. We facilitate the local exchange of energy and work closely in conjunction with public authorities on issues related to the heating transition.
As a co-designer, we help municipalities, provincial authorities and businesses choose a sensible course for developing the energy system in the long-term. We show them what the energy network can handle and the social costs associated with specific choices. In addition, we help organisations by offering data services and we collaborate with others to develop a flexible energy market that is driven by supply and demand. Our products and services contribute to a future-proof energy network.
