About Alliander

Alliander is a network company. Every day, we support over three million customers with access to energy. We secure reliable, affordable and accessible energy distribution in a large part of the Netherlands.

Our role in the energy chain

As a network company, Alliander is responsible for the regional distribution of energy, such as electricity, gas, biogas and heating. We neither produce nor trade energy ourselves. That is a task for energy suppliers, purchasers and traders. The vast majority of the energy we distribute comes from energy plants and wind farms, through the national energy networks of TenneT and Gasunie, or from imports.
In addition, a growing number of consumers and businesses are feeding self-generated energy into our energy networks. To facilitate the resulting interaction between energy demand and supply, our company needs to assume a new role. Alliander ensures that all energy is distributed as safely and efficiently as possible from source to end user - for instance from wind turbines to households or e-vehicle charging points.
