Why the Fear of a Full Power Grid is Unfounded

Why the Fear of a Full Power Grid is Unfounded
EMS is Essential for Businesses

The Dutch power grid may seem overcrowded, but experts believe this is a misconception. Instead of investing billions in grid expansion, we can make much better use of the existing grid by implementing smart solutions. This is where an Energy Management System (EMS), such as the Embion EMS, comes in handy!

 
Smarter Energy Consumption is the Key

Recent insights show that grid congestion can largely be addressed when businesses make more efficient use of their self-generated power, store energy, and manage consumption intelligently. During the Solar Solutions trade fair, where Embion was also present, experts from Holland Solar emphasized that the power grid isn't overloaded; smarter energy usage is the key. In fact, it’s estimated that savings of up to 22 billion euros could be achieved by using the grid more efficiently. The Embion EMS provides businesses with exactly that solution.

 
Solutions Without Huge Investments

Instead of waiting for investments in grid expansion, businesses can take action now. A smart approach, such as congestion management and energy storage, helps companies operate more independently and sustainably. The Embion EMS makes this simple and accessible, ensuring businesses aren't limited by grid congestion.

Want to learn more about the possibilities of smarter energy management and why an EMS like the Embion EMS is essential? Read more about it here on Change Inc.'s website: "The power grid isn't full, so the 195 billion euros for expansion isn’t entirely necessary.”
