STROOM - Alphen
STROOM is the leading platform where entrepreneurs, educational institutions, knowledge centers, residents, and the government collaborate on innovative solutions for the energy transition and other societal challenges in the Groene Hart (Green Heart). Together, we turn ideas into action. We connect initiatives, share knowledge, and work on projects that demonstrate what is possible when people join forces.

In Benthuizen, research is being conducted on how a local energy community can share energy more intelligently. Students are analyzing the energy consumption and generation of multiple facilities, simulating scenarios involving storage and additional generation, and advising on how local energy management can lead to more efficient, affordable, and robust energy use.
This assignment focuses on small-scale consumers at the ITC business park who are facing constraints due to grid congestion. Through interviews, inventories, and analysis, their energy needs and bottlenecks are being mapped out, with the goal of supporting them in identifying feasible technical, organizational, and financial solutions

The world, including the Netherlands, is facing an enormous technical, social, and economic transformation driven by urgent necessity: the energy transition. If carried out in the current traditional way, this transition will take 10–15 years and cost the Netherlands many hundreds of billions of euros. Can’t this be done more intelligently?
