Dutch electricity network operator Stedin has signed a €500 million loan agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB), with the goal of maintaining and increasing the security of electricity supply in the Netherlands. The loan will support interventions in Stedin’s electricity distribution network over the 2025-2026 period, focusing both on renewing existing assets as well as implementing planned developments, as Stedin aims to modernise and expand its infrastructure, connect new customers, and invest in automation.
