Key Challenges We Address
Declining Domestic Gas Supply Reshapes Portfolio Choices
- With Groningen extraction ending in 2024, Dutch gas supply relies more on North Sea output, storage and imports, increasing price and supply-risk exposure.
- This shift calls for robust sourcing choices; YCP builds supply scenarios, optimises storage economics and strengthens portfolio risk governance.
Grid Bottlenecks Put Low-Carbon Projects on Hold
- More than 11,000 businesses were awaiting electricity-grid connections in 2024, delaying electrification, hydrogen and carbon-capture investments.
- To keep projects moving, YCP prioritises high-value initiatives, assesses flexibility options and develops practical pathways around grid constraints.
Permitting and Nitrogen Rules Slow Asset Development
- Tighter nitrogen requirements and evolving court decisions continue to lengthen permitting timelines for energy infrastructure, offshore activity and new assets.
- YCP helps teams integrate regulatory scenarios into investment decisions, building evidence-led permitting strategies and aligned stakeholder engagement.
Ageing Expertise and Cost Pressure Constrain Delivery
- With roughly 400,000 vacancies across the Dutch economy in 2024, operators face intense competition for engineers, technical specialists and contractors.
- YCP supports resilient delivery through workforce planning, operating-model redesign and productivity programmes that protect capability and cost discipline.
