Meer elektrische wagens laden met dezelfde netaansluiting (en waarom dit slimmer is dan “zomaar verzwaren”)
Garagehouders krijgen steeds vaker te maken met één harde realiteit: je netaansluiting is een limiet. Als je laadplekken uitbreidt, dreig je — zonder slimme sturing — je beschikbare vermogen te overschrijden, waardoor laden vertraagt of je kosten stijgen. Met BeLoaded loadbalancing en de EVboost-oplossing verdeel je het beschikbare vermogen slim over je laadpunten. Zo kan […]
NODES opent nieuwe opportuniteiten voor lokale flexibiliteit
NODES is een onafhankelijk Europees marktplatform voor lokale flexibiliteit. Sinds december 2024 gebruikt Fluvius het platform om flexibiliteitsvermogen aan te kopen op het distributienet. In tegenstelling tot markten zoals Elia FCR en aFRR, richt NODES zich specifiek op het lokaal activeren van flexibiliteit om congestie in regionale netzones aan te pakken. Vandaag gaat het al […]
Free electricity again on the 1st of May
On Labour Day, EPEX Spot prices on the Belgian wholesale market plunged deep below zero once again. Due to the public holiday, consumption among SMEs and industry was relatively low, while solar panels and wind turbines were running at full capacity. The result: a significant energy surplus. Around midday, the price dropped to € -498.76/MWh. […]

Rising Energy Costs: What It Means for Your Business
Recent geopolitical developments have once again highlighted how sensitive global energy markets are to disruption. One of the most immediate effects is the rise in fuel prices, which quickly feeds through to higher transport and operational costs. At the same time, energy prices are becoming increasingly volatile, making it more difficult for businesses to plan […]
Lithium Prices Surge by 350%: What It Means for BESS
While lithium prices had already doubled between July and December, what initially seemed like a peak has proven otherwise. Prices continued to climb throughout the first two months of 2026, resulting in a total increase of approximately 350%. This sharp rise has significantly impacted battery cell costs, which have now increased by a factor of […]
Solar Production and Market Prices: Insights from Last Week
This week’s data shows how closely solar production, day-ahead prices and imbalance prices are connected in today’s electricity markets. Strong solar generation PV production increased steadily throughout the week. For a 1 MWp installation, average production reached nearly 4 MWh per day. In this way, large volumes of solar energy enter the energy system with […]
Why Grid Compliance and Control Matter for Decentralized Energy
As decentralized energy systems continue to grow, particularly EV charging infrastructure, solar PV, wind turbines, and battery energy storage (BESS), the complexity of connecting and operating these assets is increasing. Today, successful energy projects require more than just a technical installation. Grid compliance and intelligent asset management have become just as critical.Many organizations underestimate the […]
A Battery Project is More Than an Installation
Investing in battery storage is no longer just a technical decision.With increasing grid congestion, volatile energy prices and growing sustainability demands, a battery system has become a strategic asset for companies that want greater control over their energy future. But a successful battery project goes far beyond installing equipment. It requires the right analysis, correct […]
The Belgian Path to Affordable Electrification
Belgium’s energy transition is entering a critical phase. In recent years, several nuclear reactors (Doel 1, Doel 2, and Tihange 1) have been shut down as part of the nuclear phase-out policy. While Doel 4 and Tihange 3 are planned for a limited lifetime extension, the Belgian power system is increasingly dependent on gas-fired generation […]
