Zympler co-founder Tom Selten shares his vision on the challenges facing the Dutch electricity grid and the impact of grid congestion on electrification

Zympler is featured in the Financial Times in an article about the increasing pressure on the European electricity grid and the consequences for businesses, households, and communities in the Netherlands.

The article, “The Dutch city where Europe’s electricity grid crunch hits home”, explores the growing strain on the Dutch power grid and what this means for organizations looking to electrify.

As the demand for electricity continues to rise, limited grid capacity is becoming an increasingly significant challenge for companies looking to expand their operations, install EV charging infrastructure, or deploy more electrical equipment.

Zympler co-founder Tom Selten was interviewed by the Financial Times to share his perspective on these challenges and the role of smart energy management in making better use of existing grid capacity.

Getting more out of your existing grid connection

Grid congestion does not necessarily mean that electrification has to stop. It means that available grid capacity must be used more intelligently.

Zympler's Energy Management System helps companies optimize their energy consumption behind the meter by intelligently controlling flexible assets, such as EV chargers, batteries, solar panels, and other electrical loads.

Instead of simply requesting a larger grid connection, organizations can use smart energy management to get more out of the capacity that is already available.

This is becoming increasingly relevant for companies in the Netherlands, as grid congestion makes obtaining a new or larger grid connection increasingly difficult.
