Rijssen ✅

Yesterday we celebrated the official opening of the renewed TenneT TSO B.V. high-voltage substation in Rijssen. A great moment that was celebrated in Rijssen before, but which has now been officially ratified with TenneT and partners.

As part of the Bay Replacement Program, TenneT has the challenge of renewing 140 obsolete high-voltage substations. As a partner of TenneT, Strukton Power makes a substantial contribution to this.

In an interview we listened to Frank Schoenmakers and Ed van Moolenbroek about the innovative character, the modular approach, the collaboration and all the challenges of this challenging project. A project that is unique in many ways and has the scoop as the first delivered Proof of Concept station. The first in a series of 140.

Every start is difficult, according to moderator Erik Dijkstra. But with a ‘can do’ mentality and a clear vision of the end goal, we achieved this together. And that sure tastes like more. On to the next!
