Grid congestion slows down ambition
The energy transition is accelerating, but the infrastructure is struggling to keep up. More and more often, we hear: “There’s no room left on the grid.”
This puts pressure on expansion plans, sustainability projects or new connections. Grid congestion is not just a technical issue, it directly impacts the strategic agility of companies, governments, and grid operators.
Flexibility, predictability, and control over capacity
Many organizations face a clear challenge. You may be wondering:
- How can I maintain control over growth and sustainability?
- How do I manage capacity without depending on large-scale grid upgrades?
- How do I make futureproof investment decisions within limited grid availability?
What you need is clear insight into the possibilities, along with a smart, data-driven use of flexibility.
That’s exactly why CQM developed a powerful optimization tool, already used across sectors to unlock grid capacity, quickly and at scale.
Smart energy management based on mathematical optimization
CQM helps organizations to use their existing grid capacity more efficiently by applying:
- Simulations: to understand energy demand and supply behaviour across various scenarios;
- Optimization: through algorithms that intelligently align consumption, generation, and storage;
- Predictive models: to anticipate peaks, congestion, and flexibility options.
These mathematical models form the foundation of our smart tool, which enables organizations to make well-founded decisions on growth, electrification, and sustainability.
We integrate these models into practical, tailor-made solutions, aligned with your organization, market context and technical setup. From business parks to refrigeration systems, from charging infrastructure to industrial processes.
Space to grow within existing limits
Our approach delivers immediate strategic value:
- Room to grow without having to wait for grid reinforcements;
- Lower investment risks in sustainability or electrification projects;
- Smarter use of assets such as batteries, buffers, or heat pumps;
- Concrete savings on energy costs and fines through improved energy management.
With our tool, we reveal where potential lies, and how to make the most of it. Independent, mathematically robust, and focused on decision-making.
Making the most of what you have
With CQM’s smart optimization tool, you can have a closer look at your internal energy flows — for example by shifting processes, controlling energy buffers or using storage capacity — you may find that more is possible within your current connection than initially expected. Our models show where capacity is available, how to use it efficiently, and how to stay within the technical and contractual limits of the grid responsibly.
