Grid congestion, the overloading of the electricity grid, can be solved more easily and cheaply by generating energy locally, according to recent researchk. Experts say the key lies with smaller, local networks in which power is used directly, without placing a heavy burden on the national grid.
This approach has been possible for years and is even required by the European Clean Energy Package (CEP), which has been in force since 2019. Yet implementation is far too slow.
The idea is simple: local networks enable businesses and consumers to generate energy and use it directly. This reduces pressure on infrastructure and makes the energy transition more affordable. The CEP encourages prosumership, where consumers are also producers of electricity.
Although the rules are in place, companies run into legal and technical challenges. Who is liable in case of failures? How can local grids be set up safely and reliably? The solution lies in cooperation between grid operators and companies. Companies can learn from each other and share experiences, while grid operators have to facilitate and make sure everything is technically and legally sound.
Not every building is suitable for standard solar panels. Older or lighter commercial roofs in particular cannot always support the extra weight. Solutions such as lightweight solar panels make local energy generation still possible, without major modifications.
The opportunities are great, for example in business parks where many electric vehicles are present. PV carports can provide local power to employees and vehicles, relieving the main grid.
