Venturi Renewables’ Post

🎉 Last week, we launched our EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) calculator API with De Standaard, which was a huge success. Since the launch, more than 23300 people have used our calculator, helping them calculate their home’s energy label and understand how to improve it. 📰  The calculator was so successful that another publication, the trusted Het Belang van Limburg, which has been around for 140 years, is now using our API. Check out the calculator here: https://lnkd.in/e7NZCEc2 💡 By sharing our calculator, Het Belang van Limburg is helping its readers understand the energy efficiency of their homes and providing advice on renovations that would improve their EPC, along with estimated costs. 😃 We are excited to see who will use our API next. #EnergyEfficiency #HomeRenovation #PropertyValue #EPCcalculator #EnergyLabel #FlandersHomes #FutureProofing #RealEstateValue #HetBelangvanLimburg #StandaardBE #EnergySavings #EnergyPerformanceCertificate #SmartInvestment #Scone #GreenTech #Mediahuis

A bit late but Synergrid is working on a regulatory change to allow plug-in PV and batteries in Belgium 🎉 What could this mean? 🔌 people who rent in BE will be able to produce their own clean energy because you can pack up a plug-in installation and take it with you when you leave 💲people who think a full-scale PV installation is out of their budget can start with a plug-in installation. These are pre-assembled and thus cost much less in installation.

☀ What can grid operators do when there's too much sun for the grid to handle? ⚡   In 2023, Distribution System Operator Fluvius received more than 5,000 complaints of solar panels being ‘switched off’ because the grid lacked capacity on sunny days.  To limit this disruption, Fluvius, who is working closely with Stad Antwerpen and Stad Gent in COPPER, is leading the way with new measures to manage the lack of capacity. These include: 🔌 Plans for thicker cables 📱 Tools to help consumers be aware of capacity limits 🗼 More distribution infrastructure 🔢 Data monitoring to analyse their capacity problems. Measures like these will become increasingly common across Europe as local energy systems ramp up renewable production and consumption in the coming decade. Fluvius have already committed €4bn to prepare their grid for the upcoming demands of renewables, electric cars and heat pumps. Across Europe, this transformation will cost around €375-425bn by 2030, according to Eurelectric and E.DSO. As part of COPPER, frontrunner cities are working closely with their DSOs to plan for the demands of the energy transition, building Local Energy Action Plans (LEAPs) that will coordinate the growing local energy system at city level.
