Essent

Company Overview

Essent N.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of E.ON

's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands

1999

Approximately 3,000 employees (source: cbinsights.com). Essent serves 2.3 million electricity customers and 2 million gas customers, but exact revenue figures for 2023 have not been disclosed.

What They Do

Essent primarily provides electricity and gas to both residential and business customers in the Netherlands and Belgium. In addition to these core services, the company also offers energy solutions such as the installation of solar panels, home insulation, energy-efficient heating systems, and smart charging solutions like Essent Smart Charging. The latter optimizes the charging of electric vehicles, potentially saving users up to €300 per year by scheduling charging during the cheapest or greenest periods (source: cbinsights.com). Through its Essent Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) division, it provides integrated systems for decentralized energy management, including solar panels, batteries, and charging stations. These systems are aimed at businesses, industrial areas, residential neighborhoods, housing corporations, grid operators, and governments (source: werkenbijessent.nl). Essent positions itself as the largest producer of renewable energy in the Netherlands, focusing on innovative local systems that combine solar energy, wind, geothermal energy, and hydrogen, all with an eye towards the sustainability goals of 2050.

Projects & Track Record

In 2010, Essent realized the first commercial fast charger for electric vehicles in Europe, using Epyon technology to charge 9-seater taxi vans in 30 minutes. In 2016, the company opened five bio-gas CNG stations, becoming the first Dutch utility to commercially sell CNG fuel (source: wikipedia.org). A significant ongoing project involves providing sustainable energy solutions for over 4,000 homes and 70,000 square meters of commercial and social spaces, commissioned by WKO Merwede BV (source: eon.com). EIS is actively developing customized heating and cooling systems, hydrogen projects, and mobility solutions in collaboration with regional governments and developers, highlighting Essent's versatility and impact in the energy transition.

Recent Developments

On May 29, 2025, Essent increased its feed-in tariff for solar panels to 15 euro cents per kilowatt-hour for up to 250 kWh, automatically offsetting costs for customers and positioning the company as one of the last major Dutch providers to introduce such rates (source: cbinsights.com). In June 2025, Essent acquired Solar Concept in a deal worth €25-50 million, strengthening its solar energy capabilities (source: dealmaker.nl). Essent has also taken steps towards a circular economy through data analysis and action plans, implementing AI tools that automate 85% of helpdesk inquiries, resulting in annual savings of €2 million (source: nlmtd.com). These developments demonstrate Essent's commitment to innovation and sustainability in the energy market.

Working at Essent

Essent offers a wide range of positions, from energy sales and markets to infrastructure solutions, involving business developers, engineers, and specialists in projects related to heating/cooling, hydrogen, and mobility/storage. The organization also has leadership roles in eMobility, such as Head of eMobility and legal advisors (source: werkenbijessent.nl). The recruitment centers are primarily located at the headquarters in 's-Hertogenbosch, where Essent Energy Infrastructure Solutions B.V. is also based. The company culture emphasizes intensive collaboration in three phases (design, construction, operation) and customer-oriented innovation, focusing on respecting user preferences in smart charging solutions (source: dealmaker.nl). Documented benefits include significant cost savings, such as annual discounts on EV charging, although specific employee benefits like salaries or health plans have not been disclosed.
