A case for plug-in or plug & play home batteries
Currently, 1 million households are already affected by grid congestion, highlighting the urgency of finding solutions. The Dutch electricity grid is under pressure due to increased consumption and the rapid growth of renewable energy sources, which are essential for a sustainable future.This strain can lead to power outages and inefficiencies, affecting both households and businesses.
In 2023, The Netherlands saw a 30% increase in electricity demand compared to 2015. This surge is partly due to the growing number of electric vehicles (EVs) and the transition towards electric heating systems. Moreover, clean energy sources like solar and wind are contributing more power than ever, but their intermittent nature adds to the complexity of managing the grid.
Grid extension and energy storage
Grid extension, optimized efficiency and energy storage are key in fighting grid congestion, and for future-proofing the grid. Plug & play home batteries are an easy and accessible entry solution. Our design is user-friendly and can be installed without the need for professional help, making them accessible for a wide range of households. And not just for household with roof solar.
Households without solar
Plug-in home battery are the ideal solution for households in apartment complexes without the possibility to install solar panels - except for plug and play solar panels or balcon solar. Equipping these households with plug-in home batteries could help fighting local grid congestion, thus creating a more resilient and balanced energy system.
By distributing energy storage across numerous households, we can effectively reduce grid congestion on a local level. When many homes have their own energy storage, the need for electricity from the grid during peak times diminishes, leading to fewer power outages and a more stable supply for everyone.
Grid congestion a the plug-in solution
In conclusion, as Holland grapples with grid congestion, the scaled adoption of plug & play home batteries like ModuleOne presents an easy and efficient solution. These batteries can help balance the load, support the integration of renewable energy, and ensure a reliable power supply, making them a key component in the future of the Dutch energy landscape. With 1 million households already affected, it's clear that addressing grid congestion is not just a convenience but a necessity.
