NL residents to face flickering lights, power outages as grid fills up, Alliander warns

NL Times  

The Netherlands’ power grid is so full that it has to be temporarily overloaded to provide energy to as many people as possible, Alliander, grid operator Liander’s parent company, warned when presenting its annual figures on Thursday. Customers with solar panels also won’t always be able to return their generated power to the grid. And pushing power back onto the grid also requires grid capacity. That means that in the near future, unfortunately, we will temporarily not be able to directly help[ all consumers and companies with a small-scale consumption connection when the grid fills up in the district.” Alliander plans to invest about 5 billion euros into the low-voltage network that supplies power to residential areas up to 2030.
