Smart Delta Resources partner EP NL has been part of TTEP, a new energy company of TotalEnergies and EPH, since April 29, 2026. In this combination, the European activities of both companies in the field of flexible electricity production are brought together.

TTEP bundles nearly 30 sites in Europe, accounting for approximately 14 GW of capacity (installed and under construction). In 2025, these sites together produced nearly 30 TWh of electricity. The new name will be introduced gradually over the coming months.


What does the new TTEP combination entail?

For EP NL, it primarily concerns a change at the group level. From now on, the Dutch companies will fall under TTEP as the new parent organization. According to EP NL, day-to-day operations in the Netherlands remain unchanged: functions, responsibilities, contracts, and contact persons remain the same.

At the same time, the Dutch activities are becoming part of a larger European energy company. EP NL indicates that this offers opportunities for the further development of flexible electricity production, efficiency improvements, and battery storage. The company also reports that a battery storage project is currently under construction.

What does the TTEP energy combination mean for the North Sea Port region?

This development is relevant to the North Sea Port region because EP NL holds a significant asset in Zeeland with the Sloe Power Plant. This gas-fired plant has a capacity of 940 MW and provides flexible power at times when supply and demand on the electricity grid do not match. In doing so, the plant supports security of supply in a region where industry, logistics, and energy are closely interconnected.

The Sloe Power Plant is known as a reliable and safe plant. Moreover, it has a highly efficient generation process resulting in a high total yield.

The transition to TTEP itself changes nothing regarding the plant's daily operation. However, this step demonstrates that regional energy assets are increasingly becoming part of larger European portfolios. For an industrial cluster like North Sea Port, where electrification, grid stability, and available capacity are key themes, this is a development to watch.

Volvo Car Gent is testing automated shunting – for more sustainable and efficient port transport

27 March, 2026

Over 660 journeys a day. That is the number of lorry journeys for incoming and outgoing goods and products – covering some 21,000 km, the majority of which are currently carried out by diesel lorries – that Volvo Car Gent generates every day on and around its site in the port area. To make these operations more sustainable, safer, but above all more efficient, the car manufacturer wants to test whether some of these journeys could be carried out autonomously in the future.
