United Energy

Until a few years ago, electricity was driven on the grid demand and fossil fuel was refueled to meet the need. Now electricity is offered more and more when it is produced by renewables, but the alignment with demand is not yet there. This creates imbalance prices and congestion problems. These are mainly caused by mismatches in location and mismatches in time. There is a lot of investment in solar energy and onshore wind energy in sparsely populated areas, while demand for electricity is growing in densely populated areas. One of the solutions in this problem is to reduce the pressure on the electricity grid, through the (large-scale) use of batteries. In this project, we want to combine this approach with a solution to the ever-increasing energy poverty, that is, people with a low income can hardly pay their energy bill more, by developing an attractive business case for social landlords.
