Grid capacity & congestionEnergy hubs and capacity sharing
An energy hub is companies at one location coordinating capacity, generation and flexibility. It is a concept rather than a legal form, so every hub rests on one of three legal structures underneath: a group transport agreement, a closed distribution system, or cable pooling.
Four profiles under one limit, one structure underneath
Below is an illustrative day for four neighbouring companies sharing one connection, each with its own peak, adding up to less than four times any single one. What the chart cannot draw is the legal structure the arrangement rests on.
Picture four neighbouring businesses, each with capacity headroom at different hours of the day. Individually, none of them can grow. Together, their unused hours are exactly the room the others need. The profiles decide what is possible; the structure underneath decides what is allowed.
Morning belongs to company C
At 06:00, company C already runs while the others are quiet, so its share of the shared limit costs the group almost nothing.
A hub is not a legal form
The shared limit above needs a structure underneath it: a group transport agreement, a closed distribution system, or cable pooling. Which one applies changes what the group may do, not what the profiles allow.
From question to execution
- 01
We collect the profiles and capacity of all participants.
- 02
We calculate what sharing yields and where the limits sit.
- 03
We design the arrangement: technical, contractual and with the grid operator.
- 04
We arrange the steering that keeps the hub within its collective limit.
This is what changes for you
- Growth possible where individual connections are full
- Generation and flexibility shared instead of wasted
- One arrangement with the grid operator for the whole
One partner for everything around your energy
We calculate, arrange and execute: procurement on the exchanges, steering of your assets, grid capacity, sustainability and subsidies. Independent, not a supplier, not a comparison site. A conversation is free of obligation.
