Grid congestion is the invisible handbrake on Dutch industry. Businesses wait years for a heavier connection while their machines sit idle. Mannen van Staal in Leeuwarden refused to wait. They installed a 500 kWh MG Energy Systems battery that captures their rooftop solar during the day and runs the factory at night. The result: a 150 kW grid connection that behaves like one twice its size. And a factory that’s completely independent after sunset.
