Grid Congestion

The power grid is increasingly reaching its limits. With smart battery storage and local energy management, Bata Energy Solutions offers solutions that enable growth and sustainability.

The grid is full; what are the possibilities?

The Netherlands is reaching the limits of its power grid. New connections are being refused, and expansions halted. However, standing still is not an option. Your business wants to continue growing, becoming more sustainable, and investing. At Bata Energy Solutions, we help entrepreneurs create space within the grid’s limits. With smart energy storage, control, and on-site generation, you maintain control over your energy, costs, and growth.

LIMITED BY THE GRID

The Consequences of Grid Congestion

No Connection Possible

You want to build a new facility but cannot get a grid connection. With local generation and energy storage, you can still realize your project.

No Possibility for Expansion

You want to grow or electrify, but the grid is full. With smart storage and control, you can still move forward.

Feeding Back to the Grid No Longer Possible

You generate your own renewable energy but cannot export it back to the grid. How do you keep your investment profitable?

From Limitation to Grid Capacity

There is no single solution for grid congestion. The right approach depends on your consumption profile, connection, and ambitions. Through smart combinations of storage, control, generation, and agreements with the grid operator, you can create grid capacity once again.

CAPACITY BUFFER

Energy Storage

Store energy and use it when the grid is full. This allows you to maintain control over consumption, costs, and continuity. Ideal for limited connection capacity or export restrictions.

MONITORING

Smart Control

With an Energy Management System (EMS), you manage your consumption, generation, and storage at the right time. This allows you to optimize available capacity and prevent peak loads.

GRID INDEPENDENT

Local Generation & Collaboration

Combine your own solar energy with storage and share capacity smartly with other companies at the same grid point. This allows you to maximize your grid intake and make the most of the power you generate.

TRANSMISSION AGREEMENT

Agreements with Grid Operator

In some regions, you can still obtain a (limited) connection via a non-firm ATO. This allows you to use the grid when there is capacity—a smart temporary solution until expansion is possible.

Our Approach

Turnkey solutions
From initial exploration to delivery: we manage the entire process. One point of contact, direct communication, and an installation that operates as agreed.

FAQ

We notice that entrepreneurs often have questions about grid congestion. Below, you will find clear answers to the most common questions regarding energy management, payback periods, subsidies, and grid congestion, specifically tailored to the needs of SMEs.

Grid congestion occurs when the electricity grid can no longer handle peaks in demand or supply. This means that exporting power or expanding a connection is restricted.

Because the grid is overloaded, grid operators are increasingly refusing to grant additional capacity. As a result, generated power temporarily cannot be exported back to the grid.

A battery stores generated energy and makes it possible to use it later. This flattens peaks, reduces the load on the grid connection, and allows more self-generated energy to be utilized.

Yes. By combining solar energy with battery storage and smart control, you can expand without being fully dependent on grid capacity.

Every location and consumption profile is different. That is why we provide a custom calculation free of charge, looking at consumption, generation, storage, and return on investment.
