How grid congestion affects your organisation

The impact of grid congestion on your organisation 

An increasing number of organisations are challenged by grid congestion. This becomes noticeable with plans for sustainability or expansion. Or when your business requires a new connection in an area where power grid capacity has reached its limits. A shortage of capacity on the power grid slows down or obstructs these plans.  

Consequences for businesses 

Grid congestion makes it more difficult for many businesses to: 

• expand or relocate;
• become more sustainable by introducing electric vehicles or heat pumps, for instance;
• open a new branch. 

This will become apparent if you want to: 

• request a new or upgraded power grid connection;
• use more electricity (increase contracted transport capacity);
• feed in electricity from your solar panels or wind turbines. 

In these cases, you may be placed on a grid operator’s waiting list.
