Connection stop threatens: province of Utrecht and municipalities call on the national government for joint crisis approach

The province of Utrecht and the municipalities say that there may soon be a problem with the electricity grid. They think this problem could happen as early as the summer. According to the grid operator TenneT (Transmission System Operator), there is almost no space left on the grid in Utrecht.

This means that the electricity grid is full. If a connection stop occurs, people and businesses will no longer be able to get new connections. New houses can no longer be connected to electricity.

Businesses cannot start or grow. People cannot make their homes more sustainable. Also, you will no longer be able to install a charging station or heat pump if one is not already present.
