Coalition parties in the province of North Brabant reportedly criticized grid operator Enexis, arguing that it is not doing enough to address the overloaded electricity grid and has therefore become part of the problem. The criticism was included in a proposal initiated by D66, calling on the provincial executive to raise the issue with Enexis as its shareholder. The proposal was supported by VVD, PRO, SP, D66, Local Brabant, CDA, Volt, 50PLUS and ChristenUnie-SGP.

The parties pointed to tens of thousands of homes and thousands of companies in Brabant that still cannot be connected, as well as difficulties with heat networks, energy hubs, temporary generation and shared contracts for large users. They called for measures including grid-conscious construction and charging, battery storage and temporary heating, and urged action when grid problems delay housing. Deputy for Energy Bas Maes acknowledged the concerns while noting that Enexis sometimes only delivers unwelcome news. Enexis had not responded at the time of publication.
