Solutions for
grid congestion<\/h2>\n

As a business, you sometimes have to wait a long time for a new or upgraded connection. That\u2019s why grid operators are working hard on expansion and looking for extra room on the grid. That room lies in flexible power use.<\/p>\n

Being flexible means scheduling your business processes differently at times. If that\u2019s possible for your company, you\u2019ll be rewarded for it.<\/p>\n

Switching to flexible power use can be challenging. GOPACS helps. We connect you with the right person, provide insight with congestion data, and make sure your flexible capacity is deployed effectively.<\/p>\n

Flexibility:
there\u2019s a lot in it for you<\/h2>\n

Can you help create extra capacity on the electricity grid? Then you\u2019ll make an important contribution to the electrification and greening of the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

Using electricity flexibly may require adjustments to your processes. That isn\u2019t easy for every entrepreneur. Here\u2019s how grid operators aim to make it attractive nonetheless:<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

A (larger) connection<\/div>\n

Flexibility creates space on the grid. This can allow you to do more with your current connection, or get a (temporary) larger connection sooner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Cost savings<\/div>\n

Smart management of your electricity usage brings financial benefits. Think of compensation for flexibility or lower costs during negative or peak prices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

EU Report: GOPACS as a blueprint for the power grid of the future<\/h2>\n\n

The pressure on our electricity grid is felt daily. For entrepreneurs, this often means waiting for a connection, while we are simultaneously in the midst of a full-scale sustainability transition. However, there is good news from Brussels. In a recent report from the European Commission on local flexibility markets, the Dutch approach via GOPACS is highlighted as an international textbook example.<\/p><\/div>\n Read more<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n<\/article>\n <\/div>\n

Smart Switching Behind the Meter<\/h2>\n\n

Historically, the Dutch power grid was not built for this shift. Where energy was transported via gas pipelines for decades, electricity must now be moved via cables and transformers. \u201cThat requires heavy infrastructure. High-voltage connections as highways, with regional and local grids beneath them that also need to be reinforced. That costs time, money, and […]<\/p><\/div>\n Read more<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n<\/article>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
