With this in mind, TenneT, in partnership with nlmtd, investigated both the Dutch and international tech ecosystems. This was not just a theoretical exercise; rather, it served as a concrete foundation for action.<\/p><p><em>The question is: which existing technologies can we deploy now to utilize our grid more smartly?<\/em><\/p><p>Out of more than a hundred tech companies, we selected eight promising candidates and immediately began collaborating with three of them. The key to this transition lies not in a single groundbreaking solution, but in the combination of various technologies. By connecting these parties and sharing data, we are creating a dynamic system that drives continuous improvement. This collaboration has fostered an ecosystem of innovation that aims to connect customers to the grid more efficiently.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0db019 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c0db019\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"> Accelerating regionally through smart collaboration <\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e08544 e-grid e-con-full e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6e08544\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7b27866 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7b27866\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nlmtd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1303-nlmtd_CTF25-HR-\u00a9-Sabine_van_Nistelrooij-118-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-28111\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nlmtd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1303-nlmtd_CTF25-HR-\u00a9-Sabine_van_Nistelrooij-118-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nlmtd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1303-nlmtd_CTF25-HR-\u00a9-Sabine_van_Nistelrooij-118-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nlmtd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1303-nlmtd_CTF25-HR-\u00a9-Sabine_van_Nistelrooij-118-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nlmtd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1303-nlmtd_CTF25-HR-\u00a9-Sabine_van_Nistelrooij-118-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nlmtd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1303-nlmtd_CTF25-HR-\u00a9-Sabine_van_Nistelrooij-118-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f43496 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2f43496\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The next step is to collaborate with regional grid operators to find more efficient ways to connect customers.

While there are numerous innovations, particularly behind the meter, Ahold Delhaize indicates that too little is being done to implement them. Concurrently, TenneT identifies a potential for improvement of 30 to 40% before the meter. Many companies are eager to contribute ideas and assist, but they are uncertain about how to do so. For instance, Heijmans inquired about the types of solutions that could fall under this category, such as Thermal Scoping applications. Unica correctly highlighted the role of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), asking how we can ensure their participation in this process.<\/p><p>A dynamic and productive discussion occurred among the participants, highlighting the abundance of knowledge, ideas, and a shared eagerness to progress together.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9131553 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9131553\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Accelerate together: will you join? <\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9ae6c84 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9ae6c84\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The message is clear: solutions exist, technology is available, and the will to change is present.
