Project 5: New substation at Wateringen


After completion of the engineering work, TenneT started work on the site in 2008. In order to minimise the nuisance caused by the building work, we entered into a covenant with local residents. The dyke is to be moved so that there will be more public space remaining outside the substation. We are also siting the new transformers further away from the residential area, and the high-voltage pylons to Rijswijk are being replaced by underground cables. The municipality of The Hague is still looking for an alternative site for a number of transformers.
