Solving grid congestion without grid reinforcement

Solving grid congestion without grid reinforcement

Why smart business starts with smart energy management.

Grid congestion is affecting more and more SMEs. The solution? Don't wait—take action yourself.

What is grid congestion?

Grid congestion means that the power grid in your area has reached capacity. There simply isn't enough capacity to meet the growing demand. More charging stations, more heat pumps, more electrification, but the same grid from twenty years ago.

The consequence: you can't get a higher-capacity grid connection. Or you get placed on a waiting list. In some regions, grid upgrades take three to eight years. Meanwhile, you can't expand, you can't install additional charging infrastructure, and your energy costs keep rising.

This doesn't just affect large corporations. More and more SMEs are hitting the exact same wall.

What alternatives are available?

You don't have to wait. There are technologies that allow you to create your own capacity, within your existing connection.

Peak shaving: use battery storage to absorb peaks in your power consumption. You stay within your contracted connection capacity, but effectively gain more capacity. No penalties, no waiting time.

Smart charging: schedule the charging of electric vehicles for times when there is surplus capacity. Not everyone at the same time at 8:00 AM, but spread throughout the day. Automatically, through the platform.

Energy arbitrage: charge your battery when electricity is cheap (overnight, solar hours), discharge when prices are high. You don't just save money; you can even profit from it.

Self-generation + storage: solar panels combined with battery storage. What you generate during the day, you use in the evening. Less dependent on the grid, lower costs.

How do you get started?

Start with insights. Before investing in storage or charging infrastructure, you want to know what your current consumption pattern looks like. Where are the peaks? When is there excess capacity? How much can you shift?

Mithra helps you do just that. Using IoT sensors, we measure your energy consumption in real time. Based on that data, we design a solution tailored to your situation—whether that involves a battery, smart charging, or a combination.

No one-size-fits-all package. Instead, a system that pays for itself.
