Responding to research into underground cable connection between Eindhoven East and Maarheeze now possible

A new underground cable connection will be installed between the Eindhoven East and Maarheeze high-voltage substations. This 150 kilovolt (kV) cable will help maintain the reliability of the electricity grid in the Eindhoven metropolitan region. The location of the cable has yet to be determined. On February 3, 2026, the province of North Brabant and grid operator TenneT will provide more information about this project in a digital broadcast. Responses to the plans can be submitted from January 9 to February 19, 2026.
