General – Recruitment
TenneT has started the recruitment and selection process for a new CEO, as Manon van Beek’s second term will end in 2026.
The second term of the current CEO, Manon van Beek, will end on 31 August 2026. In line with the State Holdings Policy, the shareholder adheres to the regular maximum term of two appointment periods.
Given the scale of TenneT’s societal task and the strategic phase the organisation is in, the SB considers it essential to organise the succession process in a timely, transparent and careful manner to ensure continuity.
Ab van der Touw, Chair of the Supervisory Board: “Manon plays an extremely important role in this crucial phase of the Dutch and European energy transition. Her leadership is of great value for the execution of our strategic priorities and for the stability of the organisation. Continuity remains central for the Supervisory Board. We have full confidence that Manon will continue to fulfil her role with the same commitment, energy, and sense of societal responsibility until the moment of handover. In the period ahead, we will focus on a careful and orderly recruitment and transition process.”
Manon van Beek, CEO of TenneT: “The energy transition is what drives me: contributing to a reliable, affordable, and future-proof energy system is more than a role for me. I will continue to dedicate myself fully to delivering on our strategic objectives and advancing the energy transition in the Netherlands, Germany, and the rest of Europe in this decisive phase and take responsibility for a solid and well-prepared handover to my successor.”
