Capacity shortages in the electricity transmission grid and a rapidly growing demand for new connections are causing Energinet and the country's electricity grid companies to prioritize cooperation and set up a fast-working working group. Energinet states this in a press release.
The working group must find common methods to quickly and accurately calculate the current capacity for new consumption and new production at the interface between the transmission grid and the local distribution grids. This will be done at the more than 200 transformer stations, where capacity is increasingly under pressure from, among other things, data centers, battery plants, solar parks, wind turbine projects and large electricity consumers.
- Although we are doing everything we can to expand as quickly as possible, the electricity transmission grid is increasingly under pressure. There are places where capacity has already been exhausted, but there are also many places with available capacity for new electricity production or new consumption, and we must do everything we can to exploit this, so that we can have a greener energy system with greater independence as soon as possible, says Kim Willerslev Jakobsen, Director of System Responsibility at Energinet.
According to Energinet, limitations in the transmission grid can quickly spread to the distribution grids, just as delays in expansion can lead to longer waiting times for new connections. At the same time, new connections must be balanced with considerations of electricity supply security, so that existing customers do not risk interruptions. The working group must therefore also contribute to more long-term and holistic planning in a situation where a shortage of electricity grid capacity is expected to be a condition for a number of years.
- It is positive that electrification is gaining momentum, and we must turn every stone to ensure continued development. The electricity grid is a prerequisite for green transition, says Kim Willerslev Jakobsen and explains that Energinet and the grid companies are therefore intensifying their cooperation to search for any available capacity for, for example, businesses, heating plants, charging stations and new solar and wind farms.
