Small, stone houses that are usually somewhat lost along gardens or on the corner of the street. Yes, we are talking about transformer houses. Thanks to our growing consumption of electricity, the municipality will have 112 of those buildings to be built in Zoetermeer in the coming years. And you will definitely notice something about that.

Transformer houses guide electricity to the houses in the neighborhood. The electricity grid is overloaded due to our rising consumption. Time for action!
Space is scarce
Charging a cell phone, electric toothbrush, bicycle light or car: For all this we need electricity, electricity and more power. Network manager Stedin is therefore investing in new transformer houses. Together with the municipality they look for suitable locations in our city. And they are difficult to find by scarce space, the municipality notes.
Streets open
The municipality calls this plan a huge operation that will only be completed in 2050. Once the locations are established, Stedin will start the work at the end of 2025 / early 2026. Hereby they tackle the neighborhood for the neighborhood and one in three streets in Zoetermeer opens. This is because of new cables that go into the ground. According to Ad Zoetermeer The Driemanspolder, Meerzicht-Oost and Oosterheem Zuid-West are the first to be the first. Everyone will be confronted with standards and diversions.
Do you want to think along about a suitable location? Then you are out of luck, because as a resident you have little or no participation, according to the municipality. If it is your neighborhood’s turn, you will receive an information letter through the municipality and Stedin.
