Build, build, build! This has been Enexis’ guiding principle for several years. In the years ahead, we will continue to reinforce and expand the electricity grid. This is essential to meet steadily growing customer demand.
The Netherlands is becoming increasingly electrified. Cars, households, and businesses are using more electricity, while the number of solar and wind farms continues to rise. More and more homeowners and businesses are also installing solar panels on their roofs. As a result, our grid is approaching capacity, resulting in congestion and longer wait times.
As part of the shift towards electricity, we are disconnecting gas connections and upgrading existing ones. In 2025, we removed 10,848 gas connections from a total of 2,246,000, a decrease of 2,077 compared with the previous year.
We upgraded 30,149 electricity connections out of a total of 2,990,000. This number was slightly lower than last year, indicating that both connection upgrades and the removal of gas connections are stabilising after the peak triggered by the war in Ukraine, which led to an increase in gas prices. As a result, the pace of sustainability-related changes was lower than in the previous year.
Increasing generation and feed-in
The number of households and businesses generating their own energy increased by 5% in 2025, reaching 1,244,207 connections. Sustainable installed capacity – the maximum capacity of renewable energy sources – in our service area grew by more than 6%. In addition, the volume of biomethane fed back into the grid increased by 18%.
