We sell no hardware or electricity and are not affiliated with any grid operator.

Where are you stuck?

Connection refused

The grid operator refused your connection, or keeps delaying it. Find out your real grid position and the routes that still exist, in about three weeks.

Contract offered

The grid operator offered you a contract, or a supplier sent a proposal. Have it checked before you sign.

Depot not ready

Your electric vehicles are ordered, but the depot isn't ready. Get a site-by-site plan, with dates your operations team signs off.

No connection in time

Your site has no grid connection, or not in time. Get emission-free project energy that holds up on site and in the tender.

Grid operators

You manage the grid or a shared energy system. Get methods, handbooks and tools your teams can use.

Stuck in spreadsheets

Your congestion work runs on spreadsheets, manual triage and one-off reports. Get advice that ships as working software, inside your own systems.

Sharing a connection

You want to share a grid connection with other companies. Agree who gets which capacity, on what terms, and who runs it.

From stuck to solved

A grid constraint is five problems at once: technical, regulatory, commercial, financial and operational. Technology is rarely the hard part; making all five answers line up is. We start from our own tools and from more than 1,500 projects modelled in our Decision Tool, so our answers come in weeks and are precise. You buy the answer, not the software.

Understand
Where do we really stand?
Grid position, constraints, options and stakeholders.
Decide
What can actually work, and is it worth it?
Routes compared, business case, a dossier your grid operator can approve.
Implement
How do we get it done?
Supplier and CSP selection, tenders, contracts, negotiation with the grid operator.
Scale and manage
How do we keep it working as we grow?
Programme management, portfolio roll-out, ongoing advice.

Illustrative example. Not a client.

Flex Scan · Decision memo · Summary

Site:: distribution centre, contracted capacity 1,000 kW, grid operator Liander, congestion area: demand.
Question:: can the site add 800 kW for electric trucks and a new cold store by Q3 2027?
Our answer:: yes, but not with a regular capacity increase. The queue for extra transport capacity in this area runs beyond 2030.

Route	Extra capacity	Available from	Relative cost	Main risk
A. Time-based capacity limitation contract plus smart charging	+600 kW	Q2 2027	Low	Night-time charging window must hold
B. Route A plus 1.5 MWh battery as-a-service	+900 kW	Q3 2027	Medium	Contract term vs battery term
C. Wait for reinforcement	+800 kW	2031 or later	None	Growth on hold for 4+ years

Recommendation: Route B. It is the only route that covers the full 800 kW before the deadline, and the battery can earn part of its cost when the site doesn't need it.

Page 1 of a Flex Scan decision memo. The full memo (up to 20 pages) covers the load profile, contract terms, the numbers behind each route and what to ask the grid operator.

We know how the grid operator decides, because we work with them too

For businesses

We know what a grid operator accepts, and how to get a case approved. We compare every route, not just the one a supplier sells.

How we help businesses

For grid operators

We turn flexibility expertise into methods, handbooks and tools your teams can use. And we bring the customer's view into your decisions.

We work for grid operators as well as for companies connected to their grid. Each engagement has its own client, nothing we learn for one is used for the other, and we tell you up front if we also work for your grid operator.

All cases

In the Dutch grid since 2017

We built software, ran a marketplace and put batteries on congested substations. That is the experience behind our advice. Today we sell no hardware or electricity and are not affiliated with any grid operator: our only interest is the right answer for you.

2017

Founded in Rotterdam to make clean, flexible energy easy to use.

For you: we have followed Dutch grid congestion from the start, not since it became news.

2019

Launched a marketplace for batteries and other clean energy systems.

For you: we know the suppliers, the kit and what it really costs. We no longer sell any of it, so we can compare them openly.

2021

Extended our software platform for mobile grid stabilisation.

For you: that software grew into the tools and data behind our analyses, which is why our answers come in weeks.

2023

Two pilots with Enexis, behind the meter at De Efteling and at a high-voltage substation in Den Bosch. Enexis concluded: it works, scale it up. This led to a national tender.

For you: we know how a grid operator tests, judges and contracts flexibility, because we have been through it with one.
