03 Energy transition: countries perspective
What TenneT is doing
TenneT has long relied on strong European procurement. Around 75
percent of our directly sourced components and services originate in
Europe. This also has a direct impact on domestic value creation. Many
of our investments 昀氀ow back into Germany, as many components are
"Made in Germany.“
To counter market price pressures, we rely on long-term framework
agreements with selected suppliers. Through strategic partnerships, we
share commercial risks. Innovation drives the energy transition – but
only if it can scale. The key to this is standardization. Together with our
partners, we have developed cables and converter platforms that can
transmit two gigawatts – the equivalent of two conventional power
plants. What began as an innovation project is now setting the technical
standard for grid expansion in Europe. This enables economies of scale,
accelerating progress and reducing costs.
75%+
of the materials and
services are to be
sourced from Europe*
*Based on internal estimates, factoring in direct supplies and contractors.

Supply chains are a key bottleneck in the energy
transition – and often underestimated. Our
energy future hinges on the availability and
