From challenge to solution: tackling grid congestion together

Grid congestion is one of the biggest barriers to growth, sustainability, and innovation for businesses. The demand for electricity continues to rise, while available capacity is limited. This calls for smarter use of the existing grid and new, scalable solutions.

During the National Grid Congestion Day, entrepreneurs, governments, grid operators, and experts come together to work on this challenge. Taking place during Arnhem Electricity Week, this event focuses on sharing knowledge, showcasing innovations, and accelerating concrete solutions.

Following a successful previous edition in Enschede, this day in Arnhem brings together the ecosystem to take the next step — from insight to implementation.

No abstract discussions, but practical solutions, real use cases, and direct connections with parties working on grid congestion today.
