Hoogvliet Supermarkten
Customer
Hoogvliet Supermarkten (Dutch supermarket chain).
The situation
The store sits in a renovated historic building (a former auction hall, taken from energy label F to A+++++). Grid congestion capped the connection at just 57 kW — not enough to start the store conventionally, since essential systems couldn’t run simultaneously. The site also has a large PV array.
The challenge: get the most out of the existing connection without reinforcing it.
What was built
Battery supplied by Brenergie. All assets connected with the Teleport, and smartly coordinated by Tibo EMS within the 57 kW limit.
The result
The supermarket runs entirely within its 57 kW contracted capacity — opened without any grid reinforcement, with the connection used optimally and self-generated PV combined with storage and active control. Improved forecasting and a dynamic energy contract optimise consumption further. In the customer’s words: it runs smoothly and no shopper notices a thing.
"Grid congestion meant that, for the first time, we didn't have enough power to start up a store. We looked for a smart, efficient solution and chose Brenergie's EOS and Tibo's EMS — so we use our grid connection optimally and combine it intelligently with the energy from our large PV array."
