Dutch property owners and businesses are now facing a reality that seemed impossible just a decade ago: electricity demand is outpacing infrastructure. Grid congestion and lengthy lead times for new connections complicate electrification. Where once a larger connection was the solution, now smart energy management is essential.
Unlocking more charging with the same capacity
Think of the grid like a busy intersection with no traffic lights—without intelligent direction, everything stalls. The same applies to electricity. As a leader in Dynamic Load Balancing and Peak Shaving, Pluq enables companies to get more charging sessions from the same capacity by distributing demand across peak and off-peak times.
With Pluq’s technology, businesses can charge more vehicles without overloading the grid. That means no need for costly infrastructure upgrades, no penalties for exceeding contracted capacity, and a far more scalable charging strategy.
A new charging strategy for Dutch real estate
In commercial real estate, charging infrastructure has become a strategic asset. Office buildings without EV charging lose appeal fast—tenants now expect it as a basic amenity. At the same time, the Netherlands is tightening sustainability regulations. With Pluq, property owners can implement future-proof charging strategies that increase property value and tenant satisfaction.
Grid-independent charging
Pluq’s smart charging systems can also be paired with solar panels and battery storage, helping buildings become more energy-resilient and less dependent on the congested Dutch grid. Thanks to subsidies like SPRILA and the ability to generate Renewable Fuel Units (HBEs), the return on investment is faster and more attractive.
Pluq’s Charging Hub dynamically aligns energy demand and supply, ensuring charging doesn’t interfere with other energy needs. Smart Charging algorithms in the cloud optimize charging sessions based on available power and time of use.
Thanks to real-time vehicle detection, charge points are released automatically when a vehicle is full, maximizing charger availability without the need for new hardware.
Strategic energy management as a business advantage
Smart energy management isn’t just a technical solution—it’s a strategic advantage. Businesses that optimize energy use lower costs and gain freedom from unpredictable power constraints. EV charging becomes part of a broader energy strategy.
Companies that adopt integrated charging now are setting themselves up for the future. Bidirectional charging allows EVs to redirect power to buildings or the grid. When paired with on-site solar and batteries, a business can transform from energy consumer to energy producer, becoming greener and financially stronger.
Make the most of the Dutch grid.
The Dutch power grid may be under pressure, but the right technology can help businesses stay ahead of the curve. With Pluq’s smart EV charging solutions, companies and commercial sites can fully utilize their available energy capacity without disrupting operations.
Whether you manage an office, business park, or parking garage, Pluq’s smart energy management ensures EV charging remains possible without grid overload or costly expansion. That’s not a luxury in a congested grid—it’s a necessity.
Maximize your capacity. Lead the transition.
