Grid congestion? We have the solution!
The increased pressure on the electricity grid in the Netherlands has led to an unprecedented situation resulting in grid congestion. Many companies are experiencing problems when applying for a new grid connection or grid reinforcements. This is because the electricity grid is simply no longer able to process all requests. This not only impacts business operations, but can also slow down business growth.
What is grid congestion?
Grid congestion occurs when electricity demand and supply do not match, this causes the electricity grid to become overloaded. This means that grid operators cannot build new connections without first making significant investments in the grid. This problem is particularly noticeable in regions with a high concentration of businesses, renewable energy production or electric vehicles.
In such areas, solar farms and wind turbines may be regularly shut down because the grid cannot handle the power generated. This not only leads to loss of clean energy, but also inhibits the growth of renewable projects. Companies looking to expand or open new production sites may be restricted in their development as a result.
Our solution: Flexible energy supply through batteries
Fortunately, there is a solution for businesses facing grid congestion. Our Batteries can serve as a temporary power supply and can be deployed quickly. These batteries act as a buffer for your energy needs, reducing or even eliminating your reliance on the grid.
Whether it is temporary power for construction projects, events or other business activities, our Batteries ensure that you do not have to wait for a new grid connection. This not only helps ensure the continuity of your operations, but can also contribute to a more sustainable and efficient energy supply.
Grid reinforcements / peak shaving
In many situations, the power grid is not continuously overloaded because the demand for electricity varies. Our batteries make clever use of this by charging during moments of low demand, for example during the night, and discharging at peak loads during the day. This process, called peak shaving, reduces the load on the grid by smoothing out peaks. As a result, in many cases, a smaller grid connection can still meet users’ energy needs. Besides more efficient grid use, this also reduces energy costs and contributes to a more stable energy supply.
