Overijssel grid status

The numbers

Stations and areas

• Province overview, both directions: Every Overijssel service area Wattlas sampled on 5 July 2026 shows TenneT's transmission layer at its most constrained level (code 3) for both off-take and feed-in. TenneT states the areas west of Zwolle (Zwolle-West) and east of Hengelo (the Enschede subnetwork) have no room until 2035; the new transformers at Hengelo Oele are the only near-term relief. Expected: Hengelo Oele new transformers near-term; most transmission reinforcement 2034 to 2038; Almelo 380/110 kV station targeted 2035. source
• Zwolle (Weteringkade) service area, both directions: The capacity map (sampled 5 July 2026) lists 88.2 MW existing against 79 MW required off-take capacity with a 28.4 MW off-take queue, and 85 MW existing against 65.8 MW required feed-in capacity with a 29.3 MW feed-in queue, both directions regional solve indicated 2031, TenneT code 3. Enexis plans extra capacity on Zwolle Weteringkade between 2030 and 2031. Expected: Enexis extra capacity Zwolle Weteringkade 2030 to 2031; TenneT Zwolle Frankhuis-Hessenweg 110 kV cable 2035 to 2038. source
• Almelo (Mosterdpot) service area, feed-in: The capacity map (sampled 5 July 2026) lists 78.5 MW existing against 41.7 MW required feed-in capacity with a 39.4 MW feed-in queue, the largest feed-in queue in the sampled Overijssel areas, TenneT code 3. This service area sits on a Coteq and Enexis boundary. Enexis plans extra capacity on Almelo Mosterdpot in 2029. Expected: Enexis extra capacity Almelo Mosterdpot 2029; TenneT new 380/110 kV station Almelo targeted around 2035. source
• Enschede (van Heekstraat) service area, both directions: The capacity map (sampled 5 July 2026) lists 69.1 MW existing against 53.8 MW required off-take with a 9.5 MW off-take queue, TenneT code 3 both directions. TenneT states the Enschede subnetwork has no room until 2035; relief comes from the Deelnet Enschede reinforcement (two new stations in the Enschede subnetwork). Expected: TenneT Deelnet Enschede (two new stations), indicative 2034 to 2038. source

As of 2026-07-05. All MW figures on this page come from the official Netbeheer Nederland capacity map, sampled 5 July 2026, carrying that peildatum; existing, required and queued capacity are the map's published per-service-area figures. The 'no room until 2035' framing for Zwolle-West and the Enschede subnetwork, and the Hengelo Oele near-term relief, are reported by 1Twente citing TenneT (17 April 2025), single-source; the Hengelo 380 kV fourth transformer (2027) and the other TenneT projects are independently confirmed on the capacity map projects layer. Enexis build-out figures come from Enexis' own press release of 31 October 2025. All expansion dates are indicative operator timelines. Overijssel is a three-DSO province: Enexis for most of it, Coteq around Almelo and parts of Twente, and Rendo in the Steenwijkerland corner; each claim applies to the named operator's grid area only.
