The Impact of a Congested Power Grid on Businesses
We are using more and more electricity. This is due to the shift from natural gas to electricity, the increasing number of solar panels on rooftops, the construction of new residential and commercial areas, and the use of electric cars. The power grid also needs to be expanded, and now even faster than expected. In addition, we are increasingly using electricity at the same time. This causes the power grid to become overloaded. This problem is also known as grid congestion.
Impact on business owners
The overloaded power grid also affects businesses of all sizes that need a new or larger power connection. For example, this applies to business owners who:
- want to establish their business in Geldrop-Mierlo
- want to expand their business
- want to make their business more sustainable and therefore need more electricity or want to feed power back into the grid
New applications from large businesses were already being placed on a waiting list by Enexis. Starting July 1, 2026, small businesses will also be placed on a waiting list. As a result, these businesses will only be connected once the grid is expanded or utilized more efficiently.
