Energy hubs as a solution for grid congestion
Grid congestion and the variability of renewable energy demand new solutions. Energy hubs offer a powerful alternative. The market is growing rapidly, and the Netherlands has an estimated 1,200 promising locations. This is the perfect time to get involved.
Our services for energy hubs:
✔ Feasibility studies and site research
✔ Development
✔ Permit application and community dialogue
✔ Communication and participation
✔ Smart combinations
✔ Contracting and legal support
✔ Financial advice
With over ten years of experience in wind, solar, and storage projects, we combine technical expertise, participation, advocacy, and implementation power. We do this while collaborating with governments, grid operators, financiers, and technical specialists.
Contact us today for a free consultation and discover how we can support you—whether it’s with the entire energy hub process from exploration to operation, or with one of our specialized services including a Quickscan Energy Balance, stakeholder analysis, or legal advice.
Start today with a quickScan energy balance or consultation.
What is an energy hub?
An energy hub is a collaboration between parties, often companies, that exchange electricity and transport capacity based on supply and demand. This often occurs partly outside the public grid. A hub can include physical generation and storage, but can also be purely legal or organizational in nature.
Our approach: from idea to operation
GreenTrust focuses on realization. We support from the initial exploration to a fully operational energy hub—practical, phased, and results-oriented. Our services align with subsidies and are based on practical experience. No standard advice, but custom solutions that work.
Why collaborate with us?
– We guide your organization from idea to realization and management.
– We accelerate the energy transition in an innovative and positive way.
– Collaboration forms the solid foundation of every project.
– With more than 40 specialists – from lawyers and developers to technical and software experts – we are ready to assist you.
The steps to an energy hub
Ready to start?
We work for companies, park managers, and collaborations that actively want to build an energy hub. Together we explore the possibilities and take concrete steps.
We support the entire process or specific parts, such as a quickScan, stakeholder analysis, or legal advice.

Examples of energy hubs we are working on:
- Wind and Solar Park at Business Centre Treeport (BCT); combining two energy streams using an Energy Management System (EMS).
- Citizen Wind Farm A2 Lage Rooijen; preparatory research into direct supply to a local consumer and a charging plaza for freight traffic.
- Energy Grote Haar; explorations for direct supply for the new business park Grote Haar, including a potential charging plaza for freight traffic.
- Wind Farm Egchelse Heide; exploration of direct heat supply via a heat network and hydrogen production for local industry/mobility. Permit application for a co-located energy storage system to reduce local congestion and improve grid stability.
- Solar Park de Blauwe Poort; Permit application for a co-located energy storage system to reduce local congestion and improve grid stability.
Sample projects
Changing energy. This is how we do it.
Wind park Egchelse Heide
Wind park Egchelse Heide consists of five wind turbines in the municipality of Peel and Maas. The project was realized in cooperation with the local energy cooperative Peel Energie. GreenTrust participates in this project, supported its development and provides operational management.
Battery storage Egchelse Heide
At wind park Egchelse Heide, the possibilities for battery storage are being examined. The idea is a storage system with a capacity between 5 and 10 MWh.
