Our approach<\/h2>\r\n

By using energy wisely together, we help reduce the strain on the electricity grid. In this way, we are working towards a sustainable future in Apeldoorn with enough electricity for everyone. The council is taking various measures to help alleviate and resolve grid congestion.<\/p>\n

Space for cables, transformer boxes and batteries<\/h2>\n

The local authority is helping Liander and TenneT to expand the electricity grid. We are working closely together to achieve this. We are ensuring that space is set aside in the city for the cables, pipes and 500 extra electricity kiosks<\/a> to allocate a space. This is necessary to prevent power cuts and to ensure that everyone continues to have a reliable supply of electricity.<\/p>\n

A smarter energy system<\/h2>\n

But we are also looking into how we can build a smarter energy system in Apeldoorn. For example, by using district heating networks as an alternative to electric heating, energy storage in batteries and car batteries, or smart electricity grids in business parks, such as at the\u00a0Ecofactorij<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Electrical connections for new-build properties<\/h2>\n

Together with the RVO and the network operator, the local authority is helping to set priorities for applications for electricity connections required for future new-build projects<\/a>. For example, the local authority plays a role in applying for grid capacity at an earlier stage.<\/p>\n

Spreading energy consumption<\/h2>\n

By using energy sensibly, you too can make a contribution. Use electricity during off-peak hours as much as possible. These are usually between 11.00 and 17.00 and between 21.00 and 07.00. In this way, we can spread our energy consumption throughout the day. This reduces the strain on the electricity grid and helps prevent power cuts. This ensures that Apeldoorn will continue to have a sufficient supply of electricity in the future.
