Enexis

What Enexis does

Enexis Netbeheer B.V. is a regulated Dutch electricity and gas distribution system operator (DSO) transporting energy to residential, business, and public-institution customers across the provinces of Groningen, Drenthe, Overijssel, Brabant, and Limburg. The company operates high-, medium-, and low-voltage grid infrastructure — cables, substations, distribution stations, and smart meters — and provides connection services, capacity assessment, 24/7 outage management, and real-time grid status information via the Mijn Enexis self-service portals and the mijnaansluiting.nl national connection platform. Founded in 2009 (per firmographic record) and headquartered in 's-Hertogenbosch, Enexis sits within the Enexis Groep corporate structure under Enexis Holding N.V., with Enexis Personeel B.V. as a personnel-services subsidiary.

Enexis earns revenue primarily through regulated network transport tariffs (netwerkkosten) set annually by the Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM); small-connection customers (kleinverbruik, electricity up to 3x80 ampère / gas up to G25) pay network fees bundled into their energy supplier bills, while large-connection customers (grootverbruik, electricity over 3x80 ampère or gas over 40 m³(n)/hour) are direct-invoiced and supported by dedicated Enexis account managers. One-time connection and modification fees form a secondary revenue stream. Customers are segmented horizontally into residential (primary, mass market), large business (primary, direct relationship), housing corporations, small/medium business, and public institutions prioritized for safety and essential services under the new ACM regime.

The company is executing the buurtaanpak (neighborhood approach) — the largest grid-modernization program in Dutch history — involving 11,400 km of new cable trenches, 15,000 new electricity substations, and 800 new distribution stations, supported by framework agreements with ABB (150 panels of UniGear ZS1 medium-voltage switchgear) and Samsung Sweden (a €117 million transformer framework contract via the Enexis Power Bureau). Enexis is also piloting the Buurtnet-app in 48 neighborhoods for community-level grid coordination, implementing the ACM-mandated Maatschappelijk Prioriteren prioritization system effective July 2026, and participating in the 17-partner RenewaFLEXNL three-year research consortium on long-duration energy storage.

Revenue model

1. Network Transport Services (Netwerkkosten): Enexis earns revenue through regulated network transport tariffs charged to all electricity and gas connection customers. Network costs are paid monthly through the customer's energy supplier and include connection service, transport service, and measurement service per connection point. Tariffs are set annually on January 1st in compliance with maximum rates determined by the Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM).
2. Connection and Modification Fees (Eenmalige kosten): One-time charges for new connections, modifications, meter installations, or removal of connections. Costs include labor, materials, and administration, calculated based on standard situations with additional charges for non-standard situations.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Electricity Network Transport Service Regulated transport of electricity from suppliers to residential and business customers through Enexis-owned low-, medium-, and high-voltage distribution infrastructure. Tariffs are set annually by Enexis within ACM maximum limits and billed monthly through the customer's energy supplier (kleinverbruik) or directly by Enexis (grootverbruik).
• Gas Network Transport Service Regulated transport of natural gas from suppliers to residential and business customers across Enexis's regional franchise territory. Tariffs are based on connection capacity (up to G25 for kleinverbruik; over G25 for grootverbruik) and standard annual consumption, billed monthly through the energy supplier or directly by Enexis.
• New Connection and Modification Service One-time service covering new electricity and gas connections, modifications to existing connections, meter installations, and removals. Costs cover labor, materials, and administration based on standard situations with additional charges for non-standard installations.
• Slimme Meter (Smart Meter) Digital electricity and gas meter that automatically transmits meter readings to energy suppliers, supports dual-tariff systems, enables dynamic energy contracts, and separately registers consumption and solar panel feed-in. Customers can disable remote reading functionality.
• Storingen & Onderhoud (Outage and Maintenance) Portal Online service providing real-time updates on electricity and gas disruptions, allowing customers to check outage status by postcode and report issues in their area.
• Netcongestie Management (Congestion Management Service) Comprehensive service for businesses facing grid congestion, including flexibility contracts, battery storage solutions, cable pooling, and group transport agreements (GTO) to optimize existing grid capacity without requiring new connections.
• Maatschappelijk Prioriteren (Societal Connection Prioritization)

Direct peers

• Liander: Largest Dutch distribution system operator, part of Alliander, serving over 3 million customers across Gelderland, Friesland, Noord-Holland, Flevoland, and parts of Zuid-Holland. Directly comparable to Enexis in terms of regulated DSO role, customer base scale, and grid modernization challenge.
• Stedin: Dutch DSO serving Rotterdam, The Hague, and the Zuid-Holland and Utrecht regions with electricity and gas distribution. Comparable to Enexis as a regulated regional grid operator facing identical congestion and energy-transition dynamics in the Netherlands.
• Alliander: Listed parent of Liander and the largest Dutch DSO group. Enexis is a direct private-market comparable in scale, regulatory regime, and CapEx profile, with Alliander's public reporting providing a useful proxy for Dutch DSO economics.
• Westland Infra: Smaller Dutch DSO serving the Westland region with both electricity and gas networks. Comparable to Enexis in regulatory model and service offerings, though at a significantly smaller geographic scale.

Others

• TenneT: Dutch-German transmission system operator (TSO) operating the high-voltage grid, sitting upstream of Enexis's distribution network. Relevant as a system counterpart for Enexis's congestion management efforts but not a direct competitor; the 38 GW queue at TenneT directly constrains Enexis's ability to add new large customers.

Broad incumbents

• National Grid: UK-listed electricity and gas transmission and distribution operator. Comparable to Enexis as a regulated utility network operator, with similar grid modernization and energy-transition capex drivers, but at much larger geographic and asset scale.
• E.ON: Large European integrated energy utility with regulated network operations in Germany and other markets. Overlaps with Enexis in distribution network ownership and energy-transition capex exposure, but with a much broader retail and generation portfolio.
• Iberdrola: Global integrated utility with significant regulated distribution networks in Spain, the UK (via ScottishPower), and the US. Comparable to Enexis in regulated network exposure, with broader geographic and vertical integration.
• Vattenfall: Swedish state-owned integrated energy utility with distribution network operations in Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands. Relevant comparable for Enexis's Dutch distribution business, though Vattenfall is a much broader multi-country operator with generation and retail activities.
• EnBW: German integrated energy utility with regulated electricity and gas grid operations. Comparable to Enexis in regulated network exposure and renewable integration challenges, but with a substantially larger retail and generation footprint.
