Abstract: Abstract Transmission System Operators (TSOs) are responsible for the construction, maintenance, and operation of the high-voltage grid. The Dutch TSO TenneT, has been appointed by the Dutch government to oversee all the projects required for the connection of the offshore wind farms in the North Sea with the high-voltage grid. An important step in the lifecycle of such projects is the invitation to tender and the selection of the awarded contractor, based on different exclusion, selection, and award criteria. This study focuses on identifying such sustainable criteria suitable for the TSO market and proposes a multi-criteria decision-making process based on the Best-Worst Method (BWM) for assessing their importance. Additionally, this study proposes using a Maturity Model for evaluating the performance of existing sustainable measures, related to sustainable goals. Next, following an Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA), the study concludes by identifying and proposing which sustainable goal can be prioritised. TenneT is used as a case study where its experts helped identify the research problem and took part in the IPA, helping to identify the sustainable goals to be prioritised.
