On Thursday, November 20, the Energy Brabant session on energy hubs will take place. During this online session, presenter Anne-Marie Fokkens will talk with various experts about energy hubs. So, how does it actually work? Can it be a solution for grid congestion? And what are the challenges to realize this?
An energy hub is a local collaboration between companies and residents who jointly generate, use, store, and share energy. Where you used to be just a consumer of energy, you can now make agreements with others about generation, transport, and storage. Energy hubs can start small and gradually expand with more participants or additional functions, such as joint investments in solar panels or batteries.
Opportunities, Challenges, and Practical Examples
Energy hubs offer opportunities to work smarter with energy together with other companies and residents. For example, it helps prevent overload of the power grid. But it can also offer financial benefits.
At the same time, energy hubs require clear agreements, cooperation, and new rules, for example, to organize access to energy markets fairly. During the Energy Brabant session on Thursday, November 20, Anne-Marie Fokkens will discuss this with various experts. The experiences and lessons learned from practical examples from the business park De Waterlaat and the municipality of Meierijstad will also be extensively discussed.
