Why attend this event?

Grid congestion is putting a brake on the Dutch economy. Are you getting "no" from your grid operator on an application for an increase in capacity? Or are you in danger of receiving fines for exceeding your contracted capacity? Waiting for grid reinforcement is not an option for most entrepreneurs.

Fortunately, the physical limit of your connection has often not yet been reached. During this knowledge session, we will show you how to find and exploit 'invisible' space in your current capacity through smart energy management and Power Quality improvement.

What you will learn in this session:

  • Creating space behind the meter: How to instantly free up extra amps for your business processes by reducing reactive power and harmonic pollution.
  • Peak Shaving strategies: Practical methods for smoothing peaks in your consumption to stay within your contracted capacity.
  • Integrate energy storage (BESS): The technical and financial feasibility of battery systems to bypass grid congestion.
  • Data-driven decisions: How monitoring arms you in discussions with the grid operator and provides insight into your actual versus contracted load.

Who is this event for?

This event is aimed at companies that see their growth hampered by grid constraints.

Relevant for:

  • Technical Directors and Operations Managers
  • Energy Managers and Sustainability Coordinators
  • Installation managers (IV)
  • Energy infrastructure consultants

Has your application for grid reinforcement been rejected or are you on a waiting list? Then this session will provide you with concrete tools.
