Becoming flexible
is worth the investment<\/h2>\n

Using electricity flexibly means running your business processes smartly to reduce peaks and relieve bottlenecks on the grid. This allows you to earn money from the flexibility you provide, while also saving on your connection costs.<\/p>\n

In addition, participating in congestion management provides clarity: you know in advance which agreements apply and what to expect. This way, you combine financial benefits with certainty, while actively contributing to the energy transition and a reliable electricity grid.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Does it suit
your business too?<\/h2>\n

Some business processes are more flexible than others. A cold storage facility can cool at a different time, a grower can heat at another moment, and e-trucks can also be charged overnight.<\/p>\n

For many companies, changing processes is less straightforward. Yet, often more is possible than you might think. And the savings or compensation can be so attractive that it\u2019s worth the effort. Therefore, check with your grid operator or a CSP to explore the possibilities.<\/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

\n
\n \"\"\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

\n
\n \"\"\n
Clarity<\/div>\n

Grid congestion creates uncertainty. By participating in congestion management now, you help define the terms and stay in control.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Through your grid operator<\/h3>\n

\n Your grid operator can inform you about all flexible contract types and products they offer. Ask your account manager about the possibilities or consult a flexibility specialist. For some products, you will also need a CSP<\/a>. Your grid operator can tell you more about this.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Through a CSP<\/h3>\n

\n Prefer independent advice or a party that takes all the work off your hands? Then consult a Congestion Service Provider (CSP) about the possibilities of flexible capacity. Not all CSPs offer the same level of support or services. Our Active CSP list and the TenneT\u2019s CSP register provide an overview.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
