Consultation Hynetwork completed: proposal for adjustment of roll-out plan sent to minister
In December 2024, Gasunie subsidiary Hynetwork published the new proposal to amend the roll-out plan for the realization of the hydrogen network. Stakeholders had until January 31 to respond to this proposal. We received nearly 60 responses from producers, customers, industry associations, governments, foreign companies and network operators, representatives for industrial clusters and port authorities.
Over the past few weeks, all responses have been carefully studied, everyone has received a response, and the proposal to amend the roll-out plan has been finalised. Hynetwork has now sent this proposal to the Ministry of Climate Policy and Green Growth. The roll-out plan will be established by the minister.
Consultation feedback
What we have seen in the consultation feedback is that it is primarily about the timeliness of development of the network, amplification of the roll-out plan, further specifics for the roll-out timetable with further details of the pipeline sections, and the importance of timely and coordinated development of sufficient transport capacity at the right border points. Take a look at the summary of the consultation feedback and our detailed response to it.
Information sessions
IEveryone who sent in feedback as part of the consultation has received a personal response from us. In addition to that, we organised information sessions with the parties involved. These sessions allowed us to discuss the detailed timetable and potential risks, as well as subjects such as tariffs, system interfaces and connections. Our intention behind this kind of mutual coordination and further collaboration is to pre-empt risks, so that we are able to go full steam ahead in developing the hydrogen network. If you, too, want to join the conversation on the hydrogen network, let us know through your contact at Gasunie or by sending an email to [email protected].
What next?
The Minister of Climate Policy and Green Growth will adopt the roll-out plan. We do not know at this point when exactly that will be. We will publish the adopted roll-out plan on our website as soon as possible.
