Transmission

We are helping upgrade and enhance electricity transmission and distribution systems, meeting challenges of increased demand and decarbonisation.

Delivering next generation power grids

Electricity transmission and distribution networks are at the centre of global environmental, economic and digital transformation.  

Getting new clean energy sources connected to the grid as quickly as possible will give nations the best chance of successfully achieving net zero. Without an expanded and upgraded grid system, the global economy will not be able to realise its economic potential. The pace and scale of change driven by the need for grids to be adapted, and in some cases re-built, is unprecedented and demand is accelerating. This creates enormous challenges for network operators. They must balance unprecedented investment with operational resilience, and affordability. 

Network organisations are responding with a variety of solutions. These include new onshore and offshore grid infrastructure development and reinforcement, new network interconnections, and energy storage and demand response solutions. 

Re-wiring the globe demands innovative delivery models to achieve high performance across capital programmes. This will be underpinned by investment in technology, supply chain capacity and the development of diverse talent who are eager to deliver a sustainable energy transition. 

A connected global platform applied to local markets

In the world’s most remote locations and biggest markets, we are applying our experience and expertise to develop the next generation grid network. Our connected platform provides us with the ability to draw extensive knowledge, insight and learning from the global transmission sector to be applied in local markets. 

Our work spans the full spectrum of power transmission and distribution assets. It extends from wires and cables to substations and connections, carrying electricity over ground, underground, under the sea and across borders.  

We support clients through the strategy, set up, delivery and operational phases, ensuring objectives are realised in outcomes. Our programme advisory, cost and commercial capability and best practice project controls are improving delivery outcomes. We are focused on driving better outcomes, enabled by our major programmes approach, our global platform, cross-sector capabilities and insights, enabling the distribution of sustainable, useable and affordable energy through a re-built grid.

TenneT is committed to facilitate Netherlands ambitions for offshore wind. It has been a challenging year and Turner & Townsend has supported us in maintaining control and meeting the programme milestones of the critical infrastructure required to connect HKZ
