The energy transition will fundamentally reshape our energy system over the coming decades. But what will that system look like in 10, 15, or even 20 years? Enexis is committed to playing an active role in shaping the future energy system, ensuring it meets our customers’ needs and contributes to a sustainable future. Sustainable molecules, such as biomethane and hydrogen, will play an important role in this transition.
Our aim is to make the transition as efficient as possible and to help deliver an energy system that is both feasible and affordable in the long term. Working together with the government, provinces, municipalities, the ACM, market parties, and our customers, we make informed choices to steer the energy transition in the right direction. This is a complex challenge, as we are reinforcing and rebuilding the energy grid while the precise shape of the future energy system is still evolving.
Building a future-proof energy system
A single integrated energy vision
As a grid operator, we recognise the need to take a more active role in developing a future-proof energy system. We do so by proactively contributing our expertise and knowledge to ongoing decision-making processes. For this reason, at the end of 2025, we set out our key positions in an integrated energy vision.
-
With electricity forming the backbone of the energy system, we can ensure sufficient grid capacity.
-
The gas network will continue to play a necessary role in 2050 by transporting renewable gases.
-
District heating networks will be key to making the built environment more sustainable.
-
The future energy system also requires change from us as a grid operator, as well as from our customers and other stakeholders.
Our vision in practice
In 2025, we took further steps to implement our vision. In addition to upgrading the grid, we are investing in initiatives to improve the efficient use of existing infrastructure. One example is the development of the BuurtNet app, in collaboration with Stedin and Alliander. This app will give residents greater insight into the available grid capacity in their neighbourhood. To better monitor gas quality and make optimal use of the gas network’s capacity, a gas operations centre and further digitalisation are required. In 2024, we developed a strategic vision for the digitalisation of the gas network and its system operations. This vision will guide our work in the coming years.
