Grid congestion: 3 solutions
What is grid congestion?
Grid congestion means that grid operators have no space on the electricity grid to expand existing connections or make new ones. Grid congestion is increasingly getting in the way of businesses and is a rapidly increasing problem.
How does grid congestion affect my business?
Grid congestion can have various impacts on your business, such as:
- Inability to expand assets
- Not being able to feed back from solar panels/windmill
- Delay in electrifying and making your business more sustainable
- Unreliable energy supply
- Negative returns from your generated energy
3 solutions to grid congestion
When you suffer from grid congestion, we solve your problem behind the meter. How we do this?
- Optimisation
By making smart use of energy within your business, you can create additional space on your existing connection. This includes reducing peak consumption and spreading electricity consumption. Think about adapting processes or smart charging of electric vehicles.

In addition to optimising your energy consumption, it also makes sense to look at options
On the generation side. Consider adding energy storage to smooth out peaks and increase your
sustainably generated energy at another time of day (when the electricity price is higher) to be returned
provide, or use. - Sharing green energy
Consider sharing sustainably generated energy with neighbouring neighbourhoods or businesses. This can help reduce the load on the power grid.
It is important to work with governments and grid operators to provide these solutions
implement. This way, we can effectively address grid congestion and promote energy transition.
We use smart energy management systems (EMS) to be flexible with your energy consumption. By storing energy during off-peak times, and using that energy during peak times,
you relieve the grid and your energy costs go down. Through advanced battery technology
we can virtually enlarge the grid connection. This opens doors for new businesses
and for companies with insufficient grid capacity. This prevents you from having to spend up to 5 years or more
have to wait for your connection to be upgraded by your grid operator.
