We no longer take energy for granted. How do you deal with this?
How do you stay in control of energy in a changing energy system?
In recent decades, energy was a no-brainer for many businesses. Energy was always available. Worries about energy consumption or security of supply? Nobody gave it a second thought. Whether you wanted to temporarily increase production or needed more electricity, it was a given: power was always there. It was taken for granted. That is no longer the case.
For many industrial companies, energy has now become a strategic issue. Grid congestion, limited connection capacity and fluctuating energy prices are increasingly determining what is possible. The question is no longer whether you will face scarce grid capacity, but how you will deal with it.
The pressure on the grid: from certainty to uncertainty
Whereas you used to give your energy supply little thought, you now need to plan ahead. Can you expand? Can you make your operations more sustainable? Can you keep running during peak periods? Due to the growing demand for electricity and the rapid rise of renewable energy sources, the electricity grid is at full capacity in many places. The certainty you once had has disappeared.
The energy transition: challenges and opportunities
As a business, as well as ensuring security of supply, you also want to become more sustainable. Operating in a climate-neutral way often requires more electricity. Think of electric transport, electric processes or the switch from gas to sustainable heating. This calls for smart choices in your energy system.
Fortunately, it is still possible to become more sustainable, even with limited grid capacity. How? By managing generation, storage and consumption more intelligently.
Consider, for example, using green energy generated by neighbouring solar parks or businesses. This is also known as a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Have you generated a lot of energy yourself that you’re not using at that moment? Then you might be able to share it with neighbouring businesses or households. Charging electric lorries during sunny periods is another smart way to avoid peaks in energy consumption.
Greater certainty about your energy supply
How do you ensure that your business has enough energy available without relying on scarce grid capacity?
This is where the power of bespoke solutions comes into play. Every business situation is different: some businesses experience high peaks in consumption, whilst others have a constant demand for energy. A bespoke energy management plan is essential for ensuring a reliable energy supply.
