By national ratios Groningen supports about 780 full-time electrician pros — a large market with room for niche specialists, emergency-only operators and franchises alike. That is larger than most Netherlands cities we cover. Ownership is split — 40 % owner-occupied — so a typical week mixes homeowners with landlords and property managers who buy in volume. The housing stock is old for the country, which pushes repair and replacement demand above the national average.
17 electrician pros are listed in Groningen; 0 of them offer solar panel installation specifically. Every listed pro covers roughly 6,700 households — plenty of room before this market reads as crowded.
Earthquake-related structural movement disturbs wiring and fittings, and the reinforcement program (versterkingsoperatie) frequently pairs electrical re-fits with structural work. The large student-rental market drives frequent panel and circuit turnover.
