Energy Challenge · Grid Congestion
My network is full.
What options are available?
Insufficient grid capacity can limit your expansion, charging capabilities, or energy export. Covolt helps you explore which options are best suited to your connection and energy usage.
Does this sound familiar to you?
- You want to expand, but your network connection is at capacity.
- You want to feed electricity back into the grid, but you're not being allocated enough capacity.
- You want to install charging stations, but you don't have the capacity.
Understanding the Problem
What is network congestion?
What is grid congestion? Grid congestion occurs when the demand for electricity transmission at a particular location and time exceeds the grid’s capacity. This can involve both consumption and feed-in.
This may mean that additional transmission capacity is not immediately available. The amount of available capacity depends on the local grid situation and the terms of your connection agreement.
