Energy flexibility: get more from renewable energy<\/h1>\n

Our energy supply is more complex than ever. Stricter regulations, geopolitical uncertainty and the rapid increase in wind and solar energy demand more flexibility. Companies that adapt to this reap the benefits of a more stable, efficient energy system. By investing in energy flexibility<\/a>, you reduce costs, increase your energy security<\/a> and strengthen and future-proof the grid. A win-win situation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

What is energy flexibility and what does it offer you?<\/h3>\n

Energy flexibility<\/a>, or \u2018flex\u2019, means dynamically adjusting your company\u2019s energy consumption to fluctuations in supply and demand. Flexible energy consumers respond smartly to price changes<\/strong>, demand fluctuations and the availability of renewable energy<\/a>. In practice, this often looks like shifting consumption to cheaper hours, deploying batteries<\/a> and e-boilers and smart process control. This allows you to respond flexibly to market prices and grid conditions. Maximum utilisation of renewable energy<\/a> and lower energy costs <\/strong>become possible as you optimise your electricity consumption to the most advantageous rates.<\/p>\n

At the same time, renewable energy<\/a> sources are maximally utilised to optimise self-consumption<\/strong> \u2013 so your company takes an extra step towards a reliable, affordable and sustainable energy<\/a> supply. You can also earn additional compensation <\/strong>by taking advantage of flexibility in energy and flexibility markets.<\/p>\n

Why flex is important in times of grid congestion and growth limitations<\/h3>\n

Grid congestion is rapidly increasing in Belgium and has direct consequences for connection possibilities and their costs. Those who do not anticipate today, risk higher costs and limited growth opportunities. Energy flexibility<\/a> is no longer a future concept: it is a concrete, urgent measure to limit business risks.<\/p>\n

Grid congestion offers both challenges and opportunities for companies. By using energy flexibility<\/a>, you shift your energy consumption to times with less pressure on the grid. This helps relieve the electricity grid while simultaneously reducing electricity costs.<\/strong> In this way, you gain more energy security<\/a>, minimise the risk of power outages<\/strong> and limit the need for a larger connection.<\/p>\n

From analysis to realisation<\/h3>\n

Becoming flexible in a complex energy system requires knowledge and experience. We support you with expert advice to anticipate and benefit from the advantages of energy flexibility<\/a>. We study your specific situation with a comprehensive connection and energy flexibility<\/a> study. We conduct exploratory and in-depth grid studies <\/strong>with Elia, ORES and Fluvius, for new connections and for increasing existing connections. From data analysis to technical study and strategic advice<\/strong>: we help you deploy flexible energy consumption smartly, tailored to your processes, infrastructure and market conditions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We use our FlexTool <\/strong>for this. This allows us to analyse how flexible assets, such as batteries<\/a> and e-boilers, can be used to respond to dynamic energy prices, shift or limit peak consumption, and generate income through energy and flexibility markets. Our simulations<\/a> form the basis for a clear business case, including costs, benefits and payback time.<\/p>\n

You can also rely on us for the implementation of energy storage<\/a> systems, smart meters and automation software that assists in your energy management<\/a>. So you can count on complete peace of mind, from design to execution monitoring.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
