In a deregulated electricity market, DSOs are responsible for the construction, maintenance, management and development of the transportation and distribution networks of electricity between the high voltage grid and the customers. Our motivating DSO operates with over 130,000 km of electricity cables (the largest electricity network in the Netherlands), distributing energy to 2.6 million customers. The objective of the DSO is to facilitate the market with a reliable and sustainable electricity network, to be customoriented and transport electricity for an affordable price. Since DSOs are in
a monopolistic situation, the tariffs they are allowed to ask for their services are determined by the Dutch government.
