Thesis Assignment: Technical AND Financial in Energy

• An internship allowance of €500 gross per month based on 40 hours per week
• Hybrid working: we enjoy working together in the office, but working from home is also possible
• You will receive a laptop from TenneT during your assignment

Do you want to contribute to the energy transition AND to the sustainability of our own projects through your thesis research?

Within TenneT, you can work on one of two current issues. You will combine substantive research with practical applicability within TenneT and also look at relevant subsidy opportunities.

Case 1 | Flexibility scans for brownfield stations

Case 2 | Sustainable energy generation for route projects

During your thesis internship, you will contribute to a sustainable energy future. You will work on a relevant thesis research in the direction of:

• You analyze the current situation and map out opportunities and bottlenecks.
• You gather information from various stakeholders and experts within TenneT.
• You investigate and compare possible solutions regarding feasibility, costs, sustainability, and applicability.
• You map out relevant subsidy opportunities and conditions.
• You translate your research into concrete advice and practical recommendations for TenneT

You work within the team, where you will get plenty of room to work independently AND to brainstorm with colleagues.

Your profile

• Inquisitive: you are curious, ask critical questions, and can independently conduct qualitative and/or quantitative research.
• Independent: you take ownership of your thesis research and know how to find the right information and stakeholders yourself.
• Communicatively skilled: you can hold conversations with various experts and stakeholders and present research results clearly.
• Practical-minded: you translate theoretical insights into concrete and applicable recommendations for TenneT.
• Connecting: you can bring together technical, financial, sustainable, and organizational interests.

What do we offer you?

Research how existing TenneT stations can be used more intelligently to enable temporary grid connections for construction projects. You will map out the technical and practical feasibility, investigate which station locations are suitable for this, and also include the possibilities for subsidies.

Research which sustainable and mobile energy solutions can be deployed at TenneT construction sites, for example as an alternative to diesel generators. You will investigate which technologies have the most potential, how these can be applied within future route projects, and which subsidy opportunities can support their application.
