Three stories: different sectors, a similar challenge. What it delivered, and how we got there together.
Manufacturing · Oirschot · FlexScan + Energy efficiency
One integrated energy plan for efficiency and flexibility.
The challenge
Heras wasn't short on capacity, quite the opposite: a substantial amount of unused capacity on their connection. They wanted to keep that headroom for future plans, but it was still unclear how and for what they would use it. At the same time there was a mandatory energy audit (EED) and a desire to become more sustainable.
Our approach
Instead of three separate tracks, we brought the audit, the flexibility analysis and the future use of capacity together into one coherent plan. That lets Heras tackle compliance, efficiency and growth in conjunction, without conflicting advice or duplicated work. The core: a concrete path to put the existing connection to good use in the future, before that headroom is lost.
The result
A concrete utilisation plan
How Heras will use the unused capacity on its connection over the coming years for growth and sustainability.
Up to 15% savings potential
Mapped out through 10 priority measures, with a targeted approach per asset category.
~500 kW of flexible capacity identified
Available within the existing connection, without grid reinforcement.

No grid expansion needed, thanks to an integrated energy plan.
An in-depth data analysis to understand current consumption and simulate future demand, with the flex approach worked out per component into one integrated energy plan. As coordinating energy partner, FlexEdge stays in charge of executing that plan.
~5 MVA peak reduction in view · the waiting-list capacity is not needed for the existing plans.

Expansion made possible within the existing connection.
A new shed was held up by the grid connection: expanding seemed possible only with a heavier connection, and therefore years of waiting. The FlexScan showed that using the existing connection more intelligently freed up enough room, without a battery and without grid reinforcement. As energy partner, FlexEdge stays in charge of execution.
Group transport agreement realised · growth possible within the existing capacity.
