Zuidplas Grid Study

A constraint model for a node three developers had already written off. Two of the four options were viable.

Capacity

Study

Commissioned

2025

Grid connection

150 kV, TenneT

Programme

11 weeks

A node everyone had written off

Three developers had taken the published TSO figures at face value and moved on. We rebuilt the constraint picture from three years of measured nodal data and found two of four proposed configurations still cleared the threshold.

What the study is worth

Eleven weeks and a fixed fee, against a programme that would otherwise not have started. The client kept the model.

What went wrong

We were wrong about one of the two viable options; the developer built it anyway and it works.

Have a site, a queue position or a problem with both?

Send us the constraint. We will tell you within a fortnight whether it is buildable and what it would take.
