De energiemarkt blijft bewegen en wordt minder voorspelbaar. Voor logistiek vastgoed betekent dat: energie wordt bepalend voor waarde en continuïteit. Door lokaal op te wekken, op te slaan en slim te sturen, krijg je meer grip en blijft je vastgoed draaien.

Electrification in logistics real estate requires more than infrastructure alone: smart energy control is essential. By managing energy consumption and generation effectively, operations can continue despite grid congestion and changing demand, making continuity and growth possible for tenants.

Steddion and Withthegrid are joining forces to deliver energy certainty for logistics and industrial sites with limited grid capacity. This solution optimises energy flows, reduces peak loads, and makes efficient use of surplus energy.

Grid congestion is not a barrier, but a turning point. It calls for a different approach to energy: less as a given, more as a strategic asset. Those who take control now are building energy certainty that matches their ambitions.

Grid congestion is blocking logistics real estate, but batteries are changing that. Energy storage helps absorb peaks, increases the likelihood of priority for grid connections, and makes projects viable. In this way, the sector creates its flexibility and capacity, rather than waiting for the grid.

The government is creating opportunities to reduce grid congestion and enable logistics real estate to grow, but the sector often lacks integrated energy expertise. With direction and specialist knowledge, parties such as Steddion bring policy technology and economics together in workable solutions.

Watts In Store is continuing as Steddion. With its new name and positioning, the company is focusing on energy certainty for logistics and industrial real estate, with integrated solutions that are independent of grid capacity.

Steddion, formerly Watts In Store, announces the appointment of Dennis Gieselaar as CEO. His appointment marks a new phase in the company’s growth strategy. Co-founders Frank Heijckmann and Gideon Overwater remain closely involved and will focus on further innovation and scaling.

Grid operators are reclaiming unused contracted capacity or actively steering consumption. Businesses risk losing room for growth and facing higher costs. With battery storage and smart energy management, you can make full use of your connection, retain capacity, and stay in control of your energy.

The ''Use It or Lose It'' principle requires businesses to use their grid capacity or risk losing it. With battery storage and smart energy management, you make full use of your connection, comply with UIOLI rules, and create additional value through cost savings and energy trading.

In times of grid congestion, unused grid capacity can become an opportunity. With a smart battery system and energy management, surplus capacity can be used for energy trading, lower costs, and additional revenue, while energy certainty and decarbonisation both increase.

Grid congestion leads to long waiting times, connection stops, and constraints for businesses. This slows growth and decarbonisation. Solutions such as energy storage, local generation, and smart energy management create energy certainty and keep sustainability ambitions within reach.

Grid congestion is becoming a growing challenge for businesses. Energy certainty calls for smart combinations of grid capacity, flexibility contracts, local generation, storage, and data-driven energy management to safeguard continuity and growth.

The shift from diesel to electric transport takes more than new trucks. Regulation, costs, and customer requirements are making electrification essential. Success depends on a strategic, data-driven approach to fleet, energy, and charging infrastructure.

An Energy Management System (EMS) gives businesses real-time insight and control over energy use, storage, and generation. Through smart control, organisations reduce costs, lower peak loads, and prepare for further electrification and growth.

Electrification is changing the transport sector quickly. Stricter regulation and zero-emission zones are making electric transport unavoidable. A strong start requires insight into operating profiles, charging infrastructure, grid capacity, and smart planning.

A solution, not an investment. The energy transition will not wait, and neither will your competitors. But decarbonising does not have to mean making major investments that put pressure on your cash flow. With the right financing models, you can start today and benefit tomorrow.
