Hanab Energy Solutions, a division of Hanab, is one of the Netherlands’ leading electricity infrastructure contractors, delivering major transmission and energy infrastructure projects up to 380kV. Working extensively with TenneT – the Dutch transmission operator, broadly equivalent to National Grid in the UK – Hanab Energy Solutions also supports major private-sector clients including data centres and large energy users. Backed by a wider group with significant technical capability, operational systems and financial strength, Hanab Energy Solutions has built an outstanding reputation for delivering complex infrastructure projects safely and at scale.

This acquisition strengthens Hanab’s position in the UK, with the UK identified as a key long-term growth market. The accelerating demand for grid modernisation, renewable energy connections, battery storage, data centres and wider electrification presents a major opportunity for investment and expansion in the UK energy sector.

Hanab chose Green Frog Connect because of the position we have built in the market and the direction we are already heading in. We have established a strong reputation for delivering technically complex grid connection projects and is one of the few ICPs actively pushing into higher-voltage infrastructure work. Our proven capability at 132kV, combined with our ambition to move further into EHV and transmission-level projects, made Green Frog Connect a compelling strategic fit.

With Hanab’s support, we will be able to accelerate our growth plans, strengthen our technical capabilities and continue expanding into larger and more complex projects across the UK energy infrastructure market. Just as importantly, Hanab Energy Solutions share our long-term vision for building a leading UK transmission and EHV infrastructure business.

It’s a natural match. We share the same commitment to safety, sustainability, engineering excellence and – most importantly – putting people first. We have thoroughly enjoyed welcoming members of the Hanab leadership team to our offices and project sites in recent weeks, and we are genuinely excited about what we can achieve together.

This is a significant milestone for Green Frog Connect, our team and our clients, and we look forward to the opportunities ahead as part Hanab Energy Solutions.
