We achieve 99.99% availability of our energy networks, making them among the most reliable in the world. In 2022, the reliability of supply remained at this extremely high level. Our ability to connect customers on time and expand the grid is under pressure due to the shortage of technicians and materials, the acceleration of the energy transition, the lack of space in the Netherlands and the increasing demand for electricity. Because of this, we are working on ways of reducing demand for power, making better use of our grids and completing more work.
