Dutch grid operators TenneT, Enexis, Liander, and Stedin launched stories this week on out there grid capability, following new necessities from the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM).

“The outcomes of the regional grid operator’s congestion research present virtually no further grid capability,” the businesses stated in a press release. “In Groningen, Drenthe, Overijssel, Noord-Brabant and Limburg, no further capability has been discovered.”

However, operators have recognized 880 MW of further capability in Noordoostpolder, Friesland, Flevopolder, Gelderland, Utrecht, and Limburg, if prospects in these areas agree to make use of “capability limitation contracts” (CLCs).

CLCs enable extra environment friendly use of the grid by requiring photo voltaic tasks to cut back energy injection at peak instances, with compensation supplied. Congestion service suppliers (CSPs) act as intermediaries to optimize grid area.

Current guidelines enable grid operators to barter peak mitigation agreements. Enexis awarded the primary contract of this sort to a PV plant operator in November 2023.

The Netherlands urgently wants to deal with grid constraints, as giant quantities of photo voltaic capability can be deployed within the coming years.
