Manon van Beek has been named the new Chair of the Executive Board and CEO of transmission system operator TenneT Holding B.V. She will succeed Mel Kroon, who announced in January of this year his decision to leave TenneT. The appointment is effect from 1st September 2018.

Tennet manages the high-voltage grids in the Netherlands and large parts of Germany. It is responsible for the transmission of electricity from offshore wind farms off the coast of both countries to the onshore grid for integration into the electricity system.

Pieter Verboom, Chair of the Supervisory Board, said: "TenneT has gone through enormous developments in the sixteen years that Mel Kroon was at the helm as CEO. The Supervisory Board is extremely grateful to Mel Kroon for his visionary stewardship. Under his inspiring leadership TenneT has become the leading Transmission System Operator (TSO) in north-west Europe."

Manon van Beek is currently Country Managing Director of Accenture B.V. Netherlands. For many years Van Beek was also responsible for Accenture's utilities portfolio in the Netherlands and at European level.

Manon van Beek commented: "I consider it a privilege to lead TenneT in a decade in which I believe the acceleration towards a sustainable energy system will be developed and implemented. The transition to a sustainable society requires innovation and stakeholder dialogue and I will be happy to make my contribution to this societal challenge at a crucial juncture in the energy transition. I'm excited to do this from the perspective of TenneT, which created highly reliable and resilient high-voltage grids in the Netherlands and Germany over the past two decades, under the direction of Mel Kroon."
