After the well-attended Congres Laadinfra Belgium, held in Brussels in early February, the Dutch version is now in the pipeline. Congres Laadinfra ’26, on Tuesday 12 May in the Rijtuigenloods in Amersfoort, is the event on energy transition in the Netherlands that brings together government, policymakers, grid operators and the business community to look ahead and share solutions.

The energy transition is in full swing. The number of electric vehicles in the Netherlands is increasing at a rapid pace, major players are rolling out charging plaza after charging plaza, and on the car makers’ side, they are trying hard to boost battery performance. And then there is the issue of grid congestion: power suppliers can barely keep up with the increasing demand for electricity, and waiting times for the realisation of charging facilities can amount to several years. At Congres Laadinfra ’26, on Tuesday 12 May at the Rijtuigenloods in Amersfoort, the sector will come together to take stock of the state of the industry.

What can we do against grid congestion, what are the benefits of bi-directional charging and smart grids, how safe is charging infrastructure, which innovations are going to help us in the energy transition, what are the municipal strategies and how far are we in the electrification of logistics and freight transport; at the Congres Laadinfra ’26 they will all be tackled.

Inspiring speakers

According to conference organiser ProMedia, Congres Laadinfra ’26 offers a day full of input, with dozens of expert speakers and interactive break-out sessions. New insights, valuable contacts in a dynamic environment where visitors will also have the chance to catch up with old acquaintances. Congres Laadinfra ’26 brings together government, policymakers, network operators, experts and the business community to look ahead and share concrete solutions.

Charging Infra Innovation Award

This day also sees the presentation of the Charging Infrastructure Innovation Award, the recognition for innovative solutions that contribute to the future of the charging infrastructure in the Netherlands.

Congress Laadinfra ’26 can be followed in both Dutch and English through live translation.

Registration to attend Congres Laadinfra ’26 will open soon. Keep an eye on the website for this.
