Tackling grid congestion – From congestion to capacity

Collective and practical solutions

The energy transition requires more than just technological progress. It demands collaboration, creativity, and concrete action at the local level. At a time when the electricity grid is increasingly reaching its limits, companies are increasingly seeking joint ways to make progress toward a reliable energy supply.

In the Northern Energy Region, port, industrial, and business parks are working on making their energy systems more sustainable and future-proof. Practical projects demonstrate how different regions and sectors are addressing this challenge. This white paper explores a range of collective solutions that can be implemented. New Energy Coalition and its (consortium) partners are working on this. This includes energy analyses, group transport agreements, energy storage, and the use of alternative sustainable energy carriers.

Featured Insights

The white paper provides insight into, among other things:

• • Energy analyses as a starting point for collective solutions, including the use of quarterly data to gain insight into electricity consumption and generation.
  • Examples of collective solutions include group transport agreements, shared batteries, and smart grid applications.
  • Concrete cases from, among others, the Port of Den Helder (shore power) and the REFORMERS project in Alkmaar–Heiloo (development of a Renewable Energy Valley).
  • Practical recommendations for businesses, such as gaining insight, collaborating on business parks, and engaging in timely discussions with the grid operator.
