During the renovation of a vessel traffic control centre, Rijkswaterstaat’s vessel traffic controllers must be able to continue their work around the clock. A temporary traffic control facility has therefore been established to serve as a fully operational control centre throughout the renovation. An innovative application of UPS technology and battery storage ensures that limited grid capacity does not have to be a constraint.

We welcomed the GeLUK consortium to our Live Lab in Woerden. GeLUK is a collaboration between six public-private partnerships in the Utrecht region that brings together the business community and the education sector to accelerate the sustainability transition.

It’s a day to fly the flag. Exactly one year ago today—on August 25, 2025—we experienced our first day of working together at our new building in Woerden.

While many are visiting Italy for a holiday this summer, our Service Engineers are there for a completely different purpose...

For us, this certification represents far more than mere recognition. It confirms our conviction that investing in knowledge and continuously deepening our expertise is essential to providing our customers with the best solutions and the best service. Together with Schneider Electric, we continue to develop our knowledge so that we are ready for the challenges of the energy transition—both today and in the future.

As of July 1, new national rules apply to the allocation of capacity on the Dutch electricity grid. For companies planning new sites or looking to expand in areas with grid congestion, securing a grid connection is becoming increasingly difficult. Pressure on the electricity grid continues to mount, while the energy demand from businesses is rising. Adopting a different approach to energy is no longer a choice, but a necessity. How can companies continue to grow when access to the power grid can no longer be guaranteed?

In the recent period with high temperatures it was once again highlighted just how vulnerable our energy system can be during extreme weather conditions. Driven by persistent heat, lower-than-expected wind power generation, and massive electricity demand, the 15-minute price for consumers rose to over €1.20 per kWh during the evening hours of 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM. On the wholesale market, prices exceeded €900 per MWh.

On Monday, June 15, we attended the Business Awards 2026 ceremony of the French Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands (CCI France Pays-Bas), where economic cooperation between France and the Netherlands was topic of the day. We are proud to share that Elektro Internationaal and Schneider Electric won the award in the Best Collaboration category!

Recently, Elektro Internationaal was featured on the SBS6 program Building the Future. Did you miss the broadcast? No worries! We're happy to share the video so you can still take a look into the world of energy distribution.
