Power grid in North Holland is full: businesses are waiting, and power traffic jams are emerging
Published
The electricity grid in North Holland has almost no capacity left. Many businesses have to join a waiting list before they can get power or use more of it. For the region, this is a major problem, because the grid may slow down the growth of businesses and homes.
During peak moments, power traffic jams occur. This means that at certain times more electricity is demanded than the grid can transport quickly enough. Because the grid is full, the electricity cannot always get where it is needed on time. Grid operators therefore have to look closely at where electricity is being used at which moment.
Koen Bugter is now looking for two things: people and solutions. Personnel are needed who can build, maintain and manage the grid. In addition, he is searching for new ways to make better use of the existing grid, so that the power supply remains stable. What these solutions will look like exactly is not yet clear.
For residents and businesses in North Holland, the situation therefore remains important to follow. Whether the power supply can be improved quickly depends on the available people and the choices grid operators make in the coming period.
