Smart flexibility on a congested grid

Progress despite grid congestion.

Stay competitive on a congested grid by unlocking the flexibility that already exists within your business.

The situation

The grid is full, and the numbers are climbing fast.

Large-user waiting list
15,000companies
End of 2025, and still growing.
Grid reinforcement lead time
to 2035+
In many areas, resolved only years from now. Construction years, not quarters.
Grid tariffs around 2050

For large users. Peak load becomes the costliest.

Why this matters

Waiting for a connection isn't standing still. It's falling behind.

Growth and sustainability require grid capacity, and in the Netherlands that is scarcer than ever. The longer you wait, the more it costs you: higher energy bills, less certainty about your power supply, and competitors in less-constrained regions pulling ahead.

What this means for your business

Three consequences every company has to face.

01 · Security of supply

Continuity under pressure.

More and more companies are running into the limits of their connection. At critical locations, the grid is partly curtailed during peak moments as a precaution.

02 · Competitiveness

Growth that stalls.

Anyone looking to expand, electrify or open a new site cannot get a connection for the time being. Companies that do free up grid capacity build a lead.

03 · Energy costs

Rising costs.

Grid tariffs are becoming time-dependent: busy hours more expensive, off-peak cheaper. Those who don't add flexibility pay twice: higher tariffs and a heavier peak component.

What is possible

The playing field has changed for good. To stay ahead, you change with it.

You can join the queue, or take a different path. Companies that truly understand their consumption, use their existing system more intelligently and deploy the freed-up capacity well, demonstrably get more out of what they already have.

Our approach

Three propositions that move you forward.

From first insight to execution. Applied individually, or as one connected programme.

01
FlexScan
Your current and future energy demand mapped out. We find where flexibility sits, and where you still need to add it.

02
Energy partner
A clear energy plan that connects grid congestion to your broader strategy. We stay in charge of execution.

03
Energy hub
Build scale with your surroundings. Coordinating energy flows together frees up more grid capacity than going it alone.

First step

What is a quickscan?

In a single conversation, get clear on where grid congestion creates risks and opportunities for you. Plus one or two concrete actions to take now.

01
Beforehand
You briefly tell us where you stand, which sites you have and what's at play. That helps us prepare the conversation well.
02
The conversation
We go through your priorities and your energy system at a high level: sites, activities, assets, consumption profile, and how that develops over time.
03
Outcome
A clear picture of your concrete risks and opportunities around grid congestion, plus one or two actions you can take now.
