East. Other neighborhoods and districts will follow later.

With Liander's approach, the entire power grid in the area is being tackled at once. This means that
less inconvenience for residents. In Julianadorp Oost, new
electricity substations are being built and Liander is laying new cables. This will make the power grid more powerful.
and can it also meet the growing demand for electricity in the future.

A reliable power grid
The Netherlands is growing and changing. We are using more and more electricity and generating it ourselves.
including the lighting and heating of our homes, electric cooking and charging of
cars. This is causing the power grid to become overloaded. To continue to get power from the socket in the future,
Liander improves the power grid throughout the Netherlands.

All Den Helder's turn
Over the next fifteen years, Liander will also take over the power grid in all districts and neighborhoods in the municipality of Den
Clearly. The neighborhood where Liander will be working with the neighborhood approach over the next two years is the
east side of Julianadorp and Kruiszwin 1 to 5. This is due to the capacity and age of the
low-voltage grid. The schedule for Den Helder after 2025 is not yet known.

Liander informs residents
Liander informs residents about the plans for the entire neighborhood. During the improvement of the
Network residents may experience inconvenience. In some places the sidewalk or street will be opened for
Laying the cables. When the new cables or an electricity substation are put into use
there may be a power outage for several hours. Liander will announce this well in advance. Liander will check
together with the municipality where additional electricity substations are needed, where these can be located and how they can be
activities can be combined with any other activities.

Councillor Petra Bais (Housing) is pleased that Liander is going to start: "We notice this in new construction projects
or with permit applications from entrepreneurs, we are running up against the limits of the network.
This expansion is necessary and highly desirable.” Sustainability councillor Peter van Diepen adds:
,"The future is more electric in many ways. This expansion ensures that our municipality
sufficient power for the further sustainability of Den Helder.”
