2️⃣The second theme that Elia Transmission Belgium’s #memorandum explores is ‘Access to carbon-neutral energy and competitive prices through the timely development of the high-voltage grid’📉. As Manon van Beek, the CEO of TenneT explains in the video below👇, over 20,000 companies from across the Netherlands are waiting to be connected to the country’s electricity transmission and distribution grids⚡. The risk associated with this is twofold: firstly, the business and investment climate may take a hit; and secondly, the country may struggle to reach its 2030 climate goals, since industry may not be able to electrify its processes in time⏳. 👉Read our memorandum in French and Dutch to explore its second theme here https://lnkd.in/etbv_qww #northseasummit #ostend #carbonneutral #energytransition#renewableenergy #offshore #electrification #highvoltagegrid #memorandum #eliamemorandum #energypolicy #greenpower

Dutch/German grid operator TenneT TSO B.V. increased its investement activities with over 30 percent in the first half of 2024 in comparison to the same period in 2023. The increase is mainly related to higher investments in TenneT’s 2 GW #offshore program and several #onshore projects. https://lnkd.in/eAgNmF4M #gridexpansion #gridcongestion #sustainableenergy

☀ What can grid operators do when there's too much sun for the grid to handle? ⚡   In 2023, Distribution System Operator Fluvius received more than 5,000 complaints of solar panels being ‘switched off’ because the grid lacked capacity on sunny days.  To limit this disruption, Fluvius, who is working closely with Stad Antwerpen and Stad Gent in COPPER, is leading the way with new measures to manage the lack of capacity. These include: 🔌 Plans for thicker cables 📱 Tools to help consumers be aware of capacity limits 🗼 More distribution infrastructure 🔢 Data monitoring to analyse their capacity problems. Measures like these will become increasingly common across Europe as local energy systems ramp up renewable production and consumption in the coming decade. Fluvius have already committed €4bn to prepare their grid for the upcoming demands of renewables, electric cars and heat pumps. Across Europe, this transformation will cost around €375-425bn by 2030, according to Eurelectric and E.DSO. As part of COPPER, frontrunner cities are working closely with their DSOs to plan for the demands of the energy transition, building Local Energy Action Plans (LEAPs) that will coordinate the growing local energy system at city level.

⚡ Power outages, increasing connection waiting times, and grid congestion are some challenges and limitations of the Netherlands’ strategy for transitioning to cleaner energy and low-carbon solutions. 🔌 One way to solve them and support this strategy is more efficient EV charging. Therefore, this is the key topic of the fourth edition of Congres Laadinfra '24, the Netherlands' leading conference on charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs).  👉 On May 28, 2024, Johan Van Kooten, AMPECO’s Strategic Business Development Director, will join the congress to contribute to today’s narrative of all stakeholders engaged in the e-mobility industry. Some of the main themes and questions ahead for the congress are: 🟢 What can we do about grid congestion? 🟢 What innovations will help us in the energy transition? 🟢 Smart charging as an accelerator of energy transition 🟢 Is it possible to have enough charging stations, and how? 👋 Meet Johan Van Kooten on May 28 to discuss the development of the EV charging industry in the Netherlands and globally and learn more about AMPECO’s award-winning EV charging management platform and intelligent solutions, shaping the future of e-mobility. #CongresLaadinfra #EVcharging #EVChargingFuture

Belgian grid operator releases tool to help residential PV system owners detect inverter failures: The so-called "network checker" will allow residential PV customers in Belgium to check if there have been any inverter failures in their local area. It comes after Belgian grid operator Fluvius launched a compensation scheme for those who are not reconnected within 30 working days of a curtailment. #GridsIntegration #Installations #Inverters
