The development of new energy solutions sometimes poses entirely new challenges, for which we have to find a fitting solution before we can move on. Grid congestion, which roughly compares to a traffic jam on the grid, is a typical example of that. We generate more and more wind and solar energy, which is excellent from a green viewpoint, but also creates new challenges for grid operators. The more we use sustainable energy sources, the harder it is to align the supply and demand of our energy. This, however, is crucial for maintaining grid stability, and so we must work together to find fitting solutions to help us navigate through the energy transition.](https://www.bredenoord.com/en/insights/what-is-grid-congestion/ "What is grid congestion and what can we do about it?")[![Bredenoord Ecofactorij 170](https://d214mxx6i7ojph.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJicmVkZW5vb3JkLXByb2QtYnVja2V0Iiwia2V5IjoiaW1hZ2VzL2hlcm8vb2xkX3NpdGUvQnJlZGVub29yZC1FY29mYWN0b3Jpai0xNzAuanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOnsianBlZyI6eyJxdWFsaXR5Ijo4MiwicHJvZ3Jlc3NpdmUiOnRydWUsInRyZWxsaXNRdWFudGlzYXRpb24iOnRydWUsIm92ZXJzaG9vdERlcmluZ2luZyI6dHJ1ZSwib3B0aW1pemVTY2FucyI6dHJ1ZX0sInJlc2l6ZSI6eyJ3aWR0aCI6Mzc1LCJoZWlnaHQiOjM3NSwiZml0IjoiY292ZXIifX19) This is how a synchronous grid takeover works During a synchronous grid takeover one energy source takes over from another, without the final consumer noticing anything. This method requires more preparation than a regular grid takeover.

To ensure the grid can continue meeting this power demand we must carry out large scale grid reinforcement. That means users are provided with a heavier grid connection. Sometimes users will have to switch from a small user connection to a large user connection. This, however, comes with a long waiting time.](https://www.bredenoord.com/en/insights/grid-reinforcement-how-to-bridge-the-waiting-time/ "Grid reinforcement: how to bridge the waiting time") [ More Insights ](https://www.bredenoord.com/en/insights/) ![Peter van Huit Bredenoord](https://d214mxx6i7ojph.cloudfront.net/eyJidWNrZXQiOiJicmVkZW5vb3JkLXByb2QtYnVja2V0Iiwia2V5IjoiaW1hZ2VzL2F2YXRhci9QZXRlci12YW4tSHVpdC1CcmVkZW5vb3JkLnBuZyIsImVkaXRzIjp7InBuZyI6eyJxdWFsaXR5Ijo4MiwicHJvZ3Jlc3NpdmUiOnRydWV9LCJyZXNpemUiOnsid2lkdGgiOjQwMCwiaGVpZ2h0IjozNzksImZpdCI6ImNvdmVyIn19fQ==) Need advice?
