Grid Congestion Portal
The content of this page has been checked on 4 May 2026

This means that businesses, new construction projects and energy projects are often unable to obtain or feed in additional electricity. This could be the case, for example, if you want to set up, expand or relocate your business. Or if you want to make your business more sustainable. See what you can do as a business owner, technical installer, province or local authority.
